Rehabilitating men and women who are addicted to drugs and have landed somewhere in the criminal justice system has proven to be a productive method of eliminating repeat drug related crimes by those that do become rehabilitated. For criminal justice clients in California who do agree to take part in treatment in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities, even un-voluntarily as is occasionally ordered by the judge, these persons have a significantly better chance at dealing with the crux of the problem so that they can remain sober and off of the streets drug related criminal acts. The costs to society related to these drug related criminal offenses is also impacted beneficially when criminal justice clients are helped in drug rehab centers in California in lieu of incarceration or other penalties.
