Criminal justice clients in North Highlands, California often end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug rehab system because they feel that rehabbing these persons will be more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be quite successful not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in North Highlands, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in many situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
