Criminal justice clients in Cambria, California make their way into drug treatment programs because 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 courts put these convicted persons into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they feel that treating them will be more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be incredibly effective not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Cambria, but also in keeping them sober and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
