Criminal justice clients in Gordonville make their way into alcohol and drug treatment programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some courts put these criminal individuals into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they believe that rehabilitating these individuals will be more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be quite effective not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Gordonville, but also in helping them stay sober and in many instances out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
