Criminal justice clients in Santa Ynez often end up in drug treatment facilities 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 types of persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they consider that treating these persons is more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been established to be very successful not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Santa Ynez, CA., but also in helping them remain abstinent and in many instances away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
