Criminal justice clients in Taft, California make their way into drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing them is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be incredibly successful not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Taft, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
