Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Norton 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 Norton are occasionally sent to participate at 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 them has shown to be very helpful in Norton, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
