Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Elaine who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Elaine are sometimes sent to enroll into a drug rehabilitation facility 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 them has shown to be very effective in Elaine, Arkansas, 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.
