Criminal justice clients in Ocean Shores, Washington often end up in alcohol and drug treatment facilities due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the drug rehabilitation system because they believe that treating these persons is more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be quite workable not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Ocean Shores, Washington, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
