Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for individuals in Waycross who have been sent to drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Waycross are sometimes sentenced to enroll into a drug treatment center in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has shown to be very successful in Waycross, 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.
