Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Metz who have been sent to drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Metz are often sentenced to participate at a drug rehab facility in lieu of other sentencing options such as jail time and heavy fines. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has proven very beneficial in Metz, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
