Criminal justice clients in Westfield, New York make their way into drug rehabilitation facilities because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they believe that treating them will be more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be extremely successful not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Westfield, New York, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
