Criminal justice clients in Perris, California make their way into drug and alcohol treatment programs 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 convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing them will be more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be very successful not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Perris, CA., but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
