Criminal justice clients in Bellevue make their way into drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers because 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. Some judges put these convicted persons into the drug rehabilitation system because they believe that treating these persons will be more helpful for society and for the person, rather than putting them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be incredibly workable not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Bellevue, but also in keeping them abstinent and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system for good.
