Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Hillside who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Hillside are sometimes sentenced to participate at a drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of other sentencing options 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 shown to be very effective in Hillside, 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.
