Rehab for court appointed clients are for clients in Panama 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 Panama, NY. are sometimes sent to participate at a drug treatment center in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has proven very helpful in Panama, NY., 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.
