Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for individuals in Slidell who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Slidell are occasionally sent to attend a drug rehabilitation center in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has shown to be very successful in Slidell, LA., 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.
