Criminal justice clients in Berkeley Springs often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some courts put these types of persons into the drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabilitating these persons is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be very effective not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Berkeley Springs, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in many instances away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
