Criminal justice clients in Berkley often end up in alcohol and drug rehab centers because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some judges put these types of persons into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabilitating them is more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be quite successful not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Berkley, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
