Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Kent, New York 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 Kent are sometimes sentenced to enroll into a drug rehab program in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has proven very effective in Kent, New York, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
