Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Kistler who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Kistler are often sent to participate at a drug treatment program in lieu of other sentencing options 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 them has shown to be very helpful in Kistler, 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.
