Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Mackinaw who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Mackinaw, IL. are occasionally sentenced to participate at a drug treatment facility 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 shown to be very beneficial in Mackinaw, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
