Criminal justice clients in Poway, California often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabbing these individuals will be more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be quite effective not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Poway, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a lot of cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
