Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Manchester who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Manchester are sometimes sent to enroll into a drug rehab facility 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 instead of punishing and jailing them has proven very successful in Manchester, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
