Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Edwardsville, Illinois who have been sent to drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Edwardsville are sometimes sentenced to enroll into a drug rehabilitation facility 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 rather than punishing and jailing them has shown to be very effective in Edwardsville, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
