Criminal justice clients in Walnut Creek, California often end up in drug treatment centers due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol rehab system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing them will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be very successful not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Walnut Creek, California, but also in keeping them sober and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
