Criminal justice clients in Pascoag, RI. often end up in alcohol and drug rehab programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many judges put these criminal individuals into the drug and alcohol rehab system because they believe that treating them is more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be quite effective not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Pascoag, RI., but also in helping them remain abstinent and in many instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
