Criminal justice clients in Downey, California make their way into alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal individuals into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabbing them will be more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be very successful not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Downey, but also in helping them remain sober and in many situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
