Criminal justice clients in Hawaiian Gardens, California make their way into drug and alcohol treatment programs due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Some courts put these types of persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabilitating these individuals is more effective for society and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be quite successful not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Hawaiian Gardens, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in many cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
