Criminal justice clients in Willow Creek, California make their way into drug and alcohol rehab facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these criminal persons into the drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating them will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be extremely successful not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Willow Creek, but also in keeping them abstinent and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
