Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Alton who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Alton, AL. are sometimes sentenced to participate at a drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very effective in Alton, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
