Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Decatur who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Decatur are sometimes sent to attend a drug rehabilitation facility 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 and jailing them has shown to be very beneficial in Decatur, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
