Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Olivette who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Olivette are sometimes 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 helpful in Olivette, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
