Rehab for court appointed clients are for clients in Barre who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Barre are often sent to attend a drug rehab center 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 instead of punishing and jailing them has proven very successful in Barre, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
