Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for clients in Sun City, California who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Sun City are occasionally sentenced to participate at a drug treatment 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 successful in Sun City, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
