Criminal justice clients in Pelzer often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug rehab system because they feel that rehabilitating them will be more effective for society and for the person, rather than putting them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be very effective not only in healing and rehabilitating this type of client in Pelzer, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a lot of situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
