Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for clients in Canvas who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Canvas are sometimes sentenced to attend a drug rehab center in lieu of other sentencing options 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 shown to be very effective in Canvas, West Virginia, not only in getting the individual 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.
