Criminal justice clients in Monrovia make their way into drug and alcohol treatment centers because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabilitating them is more effective for society and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been established to be extremely effective not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Monrovia, CA., but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
