Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for individuals in Bloomfield who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Bloomfield are sometimes sentenced to participate at a drug treatment center in lieu of other sentencing options such as jail time and heavy fines. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has proven very beneficial in Bloomfield, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
