Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for clients in Novice, Texas who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Novice are occasionally sent to enroll into a drug rehabilitation center 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 rather than punishing and jailing them has proven very successful in Novice, Texas, 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.
