Many judges put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they believe that treating these persons will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been established to be extremely successful not only in healing and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Manasquan, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
