Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Lakeview who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Lakeview, OH. are sometimes sentenced to attend a drug treatment center in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has proven very successful in Lakeview, not only in getting the person 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.
