Criminal justice clients in Pocahontas make their way into drug treatment facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they consider that treating these persons will be more productive for society and for the person, rather than putting them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be very effective not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Pocahontas, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in many situations away from the criminal justice system for good.
