Criminal justice clients in Alturas, California often end up in drug treatment facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some judges put these types of individuals into the drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing these persons is more productive for society and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no rehabilitation at all.
