Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for individuals in Abingdon who have been sent to drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Abingdon are sometimes sentenced to participate at a drug treatment center in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has shown to be very successful in Abingdon, VA., not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
