Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Winsted who have been sent to drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Winsted are occasionally sentenced to participate at a drug rehabilitation center in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very helpful in Winsted, Minnesota, 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.
