Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Refton who have been sent to drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Refton are occasionally sentenced to enroll into a drug treatment facility in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has shown to be very effective in Refton, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
