Criminal justice clients in West Hollywood, California make their way into drug and alcohol treatment facilities due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol rehab system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating these persons will be more productive for society and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be very effective not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in West Hollywood, but also in helping them remain sober and in many situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
