Criminal justice clients in Lavale often end up in drug treatment programs because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these types of persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating these persons will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than placing them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be incredibly workable not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Lavale, but also in keeping them sober and in many situations away from the criminal justice system for good.
