Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for individuals in Greenland, Michigan who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Greenland are occasionally sentenced to attend a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has proven very beneficial in Greenland, not only in getting the individual 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.
