Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Italy who have been sent to drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Italy are occasionally sent to participate at a drug rehab center in lieu of other justice actions 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 shown to be very effective in Italy, Texas, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
