Criminal justice clients in Slab Fork, WV. make their way into drug and alcohol rehab centers because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some courts put these types of persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabilitating these individuals is more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be incredibly successful not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Slab Fork, WV., but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
