Criminal justice clients in Ellamore, West Virginia often end up in drug and alcohol rehab facilities due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they consider that rehabbing them will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been established to be incredibly successful not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Ellamore, West Virginia, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
