Criminal justice clients in Standard, California often end up in alcohol and drug rehab programs due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these criminal individuals into the drug rehab system because they believe that rehabbing these individuals is more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been established to be extremely effective not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Standard, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
