Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for individuals in Fairfield 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 Fairfield are sometimes sent to participate at a drug treatment facility in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has proven very helpful in Fairfield, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
