Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for individuals in Staunton, Illinois who have been sent to drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Staunton are often sentenced to participate at a drug treatment program in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has shown to be very helpful in Staunton, 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.
