Criminal justice clients in Pleasanton make their way into drug treatment centers because they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal individuals into the drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabilitating them is more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be very successful not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Pleasanton, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
