Criminal justice clients in Madison, Virginia often end up in drug treatment facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that treating these persons will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be very workable not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Madison, Virginia, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
