Criminal justice clients in Van often end up in alcohol and drug rehab facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many judges put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they believe that treating them will be more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be quite effective not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Van, but also in helping them remain sober and in a lot of cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
