Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for individuals in Cuba, New York who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Cuba are sometimes sentenced to enroll into a drug treatment center in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has shown to be very successful in Cuba, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
