Criminal justice clients in Firebaugh, California often end up in drug and alcohol rehab centers due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted persons into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing them will be more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be extremely effective not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Firebaugh, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system for good.
