Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Melvin, Michigan who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Melvin are occasionally sentenced to participate at a drug rehabilitation 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 helpful in Melvin, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
