Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Illinois City, Illinois who have been sent to drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Illinois City are often sent to participate at a drug treatment 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 proven very beneficial in Illinois City, not only in getting the person 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.
