Rehab for court appointed clients are for clients in Norway who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Norway, Michigan are often sent 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 approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has proven very effective in Norway, 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.
