Criminal justice clients in Walker, WV. often end up in drug and alcohol treatment centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these types of persons into the drug rehab system because they consider that rehabbing these individuals will be more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be very effective not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Walker, WV., but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
