Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Newton who have been sent to drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Newton are sometimes sentenced to participate at a drug rehab program in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has shown to be very beneficial in Newton, 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.
