Addiction & Rehab

When a person has a drug or alcohol related dependency, it can lead to immense strife.  Addictions to drugs and/or alcohol can lead to family disputes, financial instability, job performance issues, and personal trauma.  If you have a drug and/or alcohol addiction, now is the time to seek help.  By seeking rehabilitation, you can prevent your problems from escalating and causing further personal damage. 

At Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin, we remain dedicated to our clients’ best interests.  We know that clients who have been charged with serious drug and/or alcohol related offenses face severe legal consequences.  We also know that our clients face a great deal of emotional turmoil due to their drug and/or alcohol dependencies.  For this reason, we offer each of our clients the assistance and resources they need to seek effective treatment and rehabilitation.  Our compassionate team is also committed to helping our clients’ families find professionals who can help them get through emotionally strenuous times.

The sad reality is that addiction often leads to criminal behavior including theft, drug sales, DUI, and other more serious violations. Our criminal defense lawyers utilize numerous drug programs in Southern California, in-patient and out-patient, to help clients treat drug and alcohol addiction. Our Los Angeles criminal defense strategy is to aggressively use these programs as an alternative to jail or prison.  We utilize varied California criminal law options including DEJ (Deferred Entry of Judgment), Proposition 36, and Drug Diversion as alternative to custody time.  Keeping clients free and out of jail is the firm’s main objective. As a result, we are also concerned about recidivism — to prevent clients from relapsing and being rearrested. Accordingly, we counsel clients to take their rehabilitation seriously, and to be committed to change with a sponsor, a dedication to the 12-step lifestyle, and seeing a therapist on a regular basis.  Often, even before the court date, we encourage our clients to be enrolled in an appropriate counseling program.  We can then leverage the client’s desire for treatment to obtain the best resolution in court.

For our clients' convenience, we have offices in the vicinity of courthouses in Antelope Valley, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Glendale, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Fernando, South Bay, Ventura, Valencia, Whittier, and San Bernardino, and we are accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our main office is directly across the street from the Van Nuys Court and the Van Nuys LAPD Jail.

If you have been charged with a drug and/or alcohol related crime, and you have a drug and/or alcohol addiction, do not hesitate to call Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin, LLP at (877) 781-1570.  Our knowledgeable legal team can provide you and your family with exceptional resources and help you seek proper treatment.
