Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Santiago, MN. who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Santiago are sometimes sent to enroll into 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 approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very helpful in Santiago, MN., not only in getting the individual 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.
