Criminal justice clients in Kirkland, WA. often end up in drug rehabilitation programs 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 types of persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they feel that rehabbing these persons will be more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been established to be incredibly successful not only in healing and rehabilitating this type of client in Kirkland, WA., but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
