Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for individuals in Cairo who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Cairo are occasionally sent to enroll into a drug treatment 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 instead of punishing them has proven very successful in Cairo, Illinois, 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.
