Criminal justice clients in Chester often end up in alcohol and drug treatment centers because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted individuals into the drug rehab system because they feel that rehabbing them is more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be quite successful not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Chester, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
