Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for individuals in Midland who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Midland are often sentenced to enroll into a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of other justice actions 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 effective in Midland, 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.
