Criminal justice clients in Lazear often end up in drug and alcohol rehab facilities because they were found guilty 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 individuals into the alcohol and drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing them will be more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be extremely workable not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Lazear, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in many situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
