Criminal justice clients in Pollok often end up in alcohol and drug treatment facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these criminal individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing them will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be extremely workable not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Pollok, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
