Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Baldwin, Illinois who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Baldwin, Illinois are occasionally sent to attend a drug rehab center in lieu of other sentencing options such as jail time and heavy fines. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has shown to be very effective in Baldwin, 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.
