Criminal justice clients in Bellevue often end up in alcohol and drug rehab centers due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating 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 proven to be very effective not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Bellevue, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in many situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
