Criminal justice clients in Rockbridge make their way into alcohol and drug treatment facilities due to the fact they were found guilty 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 courts put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they consider that rehabilitating these persons will be more productive for society and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been established to be extremely successful not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Rockbridge, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
