Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for clients in Swisher who have been sent to drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Swisher are occasionally sent to participate at a drug rehab facility in lieu of other sentencing options such as jail time and heavy fines. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has shown to be very successful in Swisher, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
