Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Colusa 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 Colusa, Illinois are occasionally sent to participate at a drug rehabilitation center in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has proven very beneficial in Colusa, 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.
