Criminal justice clients in Berkley often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug rehab system because they consider that treating these individuals will be more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be very effective not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Berkley, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
