Rehabilitating men and women who are addicted and dependent to drugs and/or alcohol and have landed somewhere in the criminal justice system has proven to be effective in curbing repeat drug related criminal offenses for people that do take advantage of treatment programs. For criminal justice clients in Compton that do take part in in drug rehab programs, even if not of their own choice as is often ordered by the court, these clients have a far better shot of handling the crux of the problem so that they can stay abstinent and away from being implicated in drug related crimes. The costs to the criminal justice system having to do with these drug related criminal offenses is also affected beneficially when criminal justice clients turn out to be helped in drug treatment programs in Compton instead of incarceration or other penalties.
