Criminal justice clients in Rancho Santa Margarita, California often end up in alcohol and drug treatment facilities because they were found guilty 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 persons into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they believe that treating them will be more productive for society and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be very successful not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Rancho Santa Margarita, but also in helping them remain sober and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system for good.
