Criminal justice clients in Westdale make their way into drug and alcohol treatment programs due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they feel that rehabilitating them is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been established to be extremely workable not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Westdale, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in many instances out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
