Criminal justice clients in Clearwater Beach, FL. often end up in drug and alcohol treatment facilities because they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many judges put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they believe that rehabbing them will be more productive for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be quite successful not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Clearwater Beach, FL., but also in keeping them sober and in many cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
