Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Western, NE. who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Western are often sent to attend a drug treatment program in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has shown to be very successful in Western, Nebraska, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
