Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for individuals in Avery who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Avery are sometimes sentenced to participate at a drug rehab center in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has shown to be very successful in Avery, Texas, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
