Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Indio, California who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Indio are occasionally sentenced to attend a drug rehab program in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has shown to be very helpful in Indio, 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.
