Criminal justice clients in Stockton make their way into drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they consider that rehabbing them is more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been established to be incredibly effective not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Stockton, CA., but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in many situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
