Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Mandan, North Dakota who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Mandan are often sentenced to attend a drug rehab facility in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has shown to be very effective in Mandan, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
