Criminal justice clients in La Jolla make their way into drug rehabilitation centers because they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these convicted individuals into the drug treatment system because they feel that treating them will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be quite workable not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in La Jolla, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
