Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Newport who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Newport are often sentenced to enroll into a drug rehab facility in lieu of other justice actions 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 them has proven very beneficial in Newport, VA., not only in getting the individual 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.
