Criminal justice clients in West Reading often end up in drug treatment programs because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these criminal persons into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing these persons will be more productive for society and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been established to be incredibly successful not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in West Reading, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many instances out of the criminal justice system for good.
