Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Sheyenne, North Dakota who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Sheyenne are occasionally sent to attend a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has proven very successful in Sheyenne, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
