Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for individuals in Stella who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Stella are occasionally sent to participate at a drug treatment center in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very helpful in Stella, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
