Criminal justice clients in Carlotta, California make their way into drug rehab centers due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some courts put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they feel that rehabbing them will be more productive for society and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be quite workable not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Carlotta, but also in keeping them sober and in many situations away from the criminal justice system for good.
