Criminal justice clients in Big Rock often end up in alcohol and drug treatment facilities due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they believe that treating these individuals is more effective 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 incredibly successful not only in healing and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Big Rock, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
