Criminal justice clients in Vista, California often end up in alcohol and drug treatment centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some courts put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they believe that rehabbing these individuals is more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been established to be very successful not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Vista, but also in helping them stay sober and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
