Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Rankin, Texas who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Rankin 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 rather than punishing and jailing them has proven very helpful in Rankin, not only in getting the individual 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.
