Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for clients in Hazleton who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Hazleton are often sentenced to participate at a drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has shown to be very beneficial in Hazleton, 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.
