Criminal justice clients in Blount, WV. often end up in alcohol and drug treatment centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many judges put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing them will be more productive for society and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be very workable not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Blount, WV., but also in keeping them sober and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
