Criminal justice clients in Powhatan, Virginia often end up in alcohol and drug rehab facilities because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted persons into the drug treatment system because they believe that rehabbing these persons is more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be extremely effective not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Powhatan, Virginia, but also in keeping them sober and in many cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
