Criminal justice clients in Newport often end up in drug and alcohol rehab facilities because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some courts put these criminal individuals into the drug rehab system because they believe that treating these individuals is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be very workable not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Newport, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
