Criminal justice clients in St. Marys, WV. often end up in alcohol and drug treatment centers due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol rehab system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing them is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be quite workable not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in St. Marys, WV., but also in helping them stay sober and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system for good.
