Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for individuals in Witherbee, New York 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.

This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has shown to be very effective in Witherbee, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
