Criminal justice clients in Nipomo, California often end up in alcohol and drug treatment centers due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, 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 individuals into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating these individuals is more productive for society and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be incredibly effective not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Nipomo, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a lot of instances away from the criminal justice system for good.
