Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for clients in Souris who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Souris are sometimes sentenced to enroll into a drug treatment program in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. 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 successful in Souris, North Dakota, 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.
