Criminal justice clients in Harbor City often end up in drug treatment programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing them will be more productive for society and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be incredibly workable not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Harbor City, but also in keeping them sober and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
