Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for clients in Russell who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Russell are occasionally sent to attend a drug rehab program in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has shown to be very helpful in Russell, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
