Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Brookston, Indiana who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Brookston are sometimes sent to participate at a drug treatment 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 rather than punishing them has shown to be very helpful in Brookston, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
