Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Augusta, Kentucky who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Augusta are sometimes sentenced to participate at a drug rehab facility in lieu of other sentencing options 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 and jailing them has shown to be very successful in Augusta, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
