Rehab for court appointed clients are for clients in Ashley who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Ashley are often sent to enroll into a drug rehab program in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has proven very helpful in Ashley, Illinois, 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.
