Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Martindale who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Martindale are often sentenced to participate at a drug treatment center in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has shown to be very effective in Martindale, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
