Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Niota, Illinois who have been sent to drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Niota are often sent to participate at a drug treatment facility in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has shown to be very successful in Niota, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
