Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Dale who have been sent to drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Dale are occasionally sent to enroll into a drug treatment program in lieu of other sentencing options such as jail time and heavy fines. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very successful in Dale, 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.
