Criminal justice clients in Zeeland often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many judges put these types of persons into the drug rehab system because they feel that rehabilitating these persons is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be quite successful not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Zeeland, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a lot of cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
