Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for individuals in Sunbury who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Sunbury are occasionally sent to participate at a drug rehab center in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has shown to be very helpful in Sunbury, North Carolina, 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.
