Criminal justice clients in Flatwoods, WV. make their way into alcohol and drug treatment facilities because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these criminal persons into the drug rehabilitation system because they consider that rehabilitating them is more effective for society and for the person, rather than putting them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be quite successful not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Flatwoods, WV., but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many situations away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
