Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Tumbling Shoals who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Tumbling Shoals are occasionally sent to enroll into a drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has shown to be very effective in Tumbling Shoals, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
