Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Pacific, Washington 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 Pacific are occasionally sent to participate at a drug rehabilitation center in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has shown to be very beneficial in Pacific, Washington, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
