Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for individuals in Madison, Illinois who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Madison are sometimes sent to enroll into a drug treatment facility in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very successful in Madison, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
