Criminal justice clients in Fresno, California often end up in drug rehabilitation facilities because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these types of persons into the drug treatment system because they believe that treating them is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be quite workable not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Fresno, CA., but also in keeping them sober and in a number of situations away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
