Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Oysterville who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Oysterville are often sentenced to attend a drug rehab program in lieu of other sentencing options such as jail time and heavy fines. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has shown to be very effective in Oysterville, 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.
