Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Dubuque, Iowa who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Dubuque, Iowa are sometimes sent to enroll into a drug treatment program in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has shown to be very effective in Dubuque, IA., not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
