Criminal justice clients in Cayucos, California make their way into alcohol and drug treatment centers because 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 convicted persons into the drug rehabilitation system because they consider that rehabilitating them will be more productive for society and for the person, rather than sending them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been established to be extremely successful not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Cayucos, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
