Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for individuals in Blackshear who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Blackshear are often sent to enroll into a drug rehabilitation program 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 proven very helpful in Blackshear, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
