Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Flint who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Flint, Michigan are occasionally sent to participate at a drug treatment program in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has proven very effective in Flint, MI., 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.
