Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for clients in Gerlaw, Illinois 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 Gerlaw are occasionally sent to participate at a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is most often 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 Gerlaw, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
