Criminal justice clients in Washington Crossing often end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they consider that rehabilitating these persons is more productive for society and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be quite successful not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Washington Crossing, but also in keeping them sober and in many cases away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
