Criminal justice clients in Wasco, California often end up in drug and alcohol treatment facilities due to the fact 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 persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they consider that rehabbing them will be more helpful for society and for the person, rather than sending them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be extremely successful not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Wasco, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in many instances out of the criminal justice system for good.
