Criminal justice clients in Venice, CA. often end up in drug treatment centers due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabbing these persons will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be incredibly successful not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Venice, but also in helping them stay sober and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
