Criminal justice clients in Imperial, California make their way into drug treatment facilities due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these convicted persons into the drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing them will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be very workable not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Imperial, but also in helping them remain sober and in many cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
