Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for clients in Jonesboro who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Jonesboro are sometimes sent to enroll into a drug rehab center in lieu of other sentencing options such as jail time and heavy fines. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has proven very effective in Jonesboro, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
