Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Knightdale who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Knightdale are sometimes sent to enroll into a drug rehab facility in lieu of other justice actions 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 them has shown to be very successful in Knightdale, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
