Criminal justice clients in Mesquite often end up in alcohol and drug treatment facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these types of persons into the drug rehabilitation system because they believe that rehabilitating these individuals will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be incredibly workable not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Mesquite, NV., but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
