Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for people in Fulton who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Fulton, Alabama are occasionally sent to participate at a drug rehab center in lieu of other sentencing options such as jail time and heavy fines. 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 beneficial in Fulton, 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.
