Criminal justice clients in Port Arthur often end up in alcohol and drug rehab centers because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating these persons is more productive for society and for the person, rather than sending them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been established to be very workable not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Port Arthur, but also in helping them remain sober and in many situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
