Criminal justice clients in Los Alamitos often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these types of persons into the alcohol and drug rehab system because they feel that rehabilitating them is more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been established to be quite successful not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Los Alamitos, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
