Criminal justice clients in Santa Paula, California make their way into alcohol and drug rehab facilities because they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these convicted individuals into the drug treatment system because they feel that rehabbing these individuals is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been established to be quite workable not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Santa Paula, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
