Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Derma, Mississippi who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Derma are occasionally sent to attend a drug treatment facility 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 rather than punishing them has shown to be very beneficial in Derma, 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.
