Criminal justice clients in St. Augustine Beach, FL. make their way into alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some courts put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabbing them will be more helpful for society and for the person, rather than sending them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been established to be extremely workable not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in St. Augustine Beach, FL., but also in keeping them abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
