Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for clients in Roper who have been sent to drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Roper are occasionally sent to enroll into a drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of other justice actions 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 them has proven very effective in Roper, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
