Criminal justice clients in Cocoa often end up in drug and alcohol treatment facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these types of persons into the drug and alcohol rehab system because they feel that treating these persons is more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been established to be very effective not only in healing and rehabilitating this type of client in Cocoa, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
