Rehab for court appointed clients are for clients in Flint who have been sent to drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Flint are often sent to enroll into a drug rehab facility in lieu of other justice actions 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 proven very successful in Flint, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
