Criminal justice clients in Fort Bragg, California often end up in drug and alcohol rehab facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating these persons is more effective for society and for the person, rather than sending them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be quite successful not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Fort Bragg, but also in keeping them abstinent and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
