Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Norfolk who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Norfolk are often sentenced to attend a drug treatment program in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has proven very helpful in Norfolk, VA., not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
