Criminal justice clients in Mattawa, WA. often end up in alcohol and drug treatment programs due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they believe that rehabbing them is more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be very workable not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Mattawa, WA., but also in keeping them off of drugs and in many situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
