Criminal justice clients in Riverside, California often end up in drug rehab centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they believe that rehabbing them will be more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be very workable not only in healing and rehabilitating this type of client in Riverside, but also in keeping them sober and in many instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
