Criminal justice clients in Esparto, California often end up in drug treatment programs because 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 judges put these criminal individuals into the drug rehabilitation system because they believe that rehabilitating them will be more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be quite successful not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Esparto, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
