Criminal justice clients in Larkspur make their way into drug treatment facilities because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these types of persons into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they believe that rehabbing these persons is more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than placing them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be extremely workable not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Larkspur, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
