Rehabilitating men and women who are addicted and dependent to drugs and/or alcohol and have ended up in the criminal justice system has proven a productive method of eliminating future drug related crimes by those that do receive treatment. For criminal justice clients in Chesapeake that do take part in in alcohol and drug treatment facilities, even un-voluntarily as is sometimes ordered by the judge, these individuals have a far better opportunity of dealing with the root of the problem so that they can stay off of drugs and off of the streets drug related crimes. The costs to society related to these drug related offenses is also impacted positively when criminal justice clients turn out to be rehabilitated in drug and alcohol treatment programs in Chesapeake instead of jail time or other harsh punishment.
