Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Clarkton who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Clarkton are sometimes sent to attend a drug treatment center in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very successful in Clarkton, Missouri, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
