Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Gillespie who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Gillespie are often sentenced to participate at a drug rehabilitation center 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 and jailing them has shown to be very helpful in Gillespie, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
