Criminal justice clients in Calipatria, California make their way into drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some courts put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing these individuals will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be quite workable not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Calipatria, but also in keeping them abstinent and in a lot of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
