Criminal justice clients in Woodland, California often end up in alcohol and drug treatment programs because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some courts put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they feel that treating these individuals will be more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be extremely successful not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Woodland, but also in helping them remain sober and in a number of situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
