Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Palestine, Illinois who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Palestine are occasionally sentenced to enroll into a drug treatment facility 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 rather than punishing and jailing them has shown to be very beneficial in Palestine, 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.
