Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Pantego who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity.

This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very beneficial in Pantego, North Carolina, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
