Criminal justice clients in Mokelumne Hill, California often end up in drug rehabilitation facilities due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol rehab system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabilitating these persons is more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be quite effective not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Mokelumne Hill, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a lot of instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
