Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Rienzi, MS. who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Rienzi are occasionally sent to enroll into a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has proven very successful in Rienzi, Mississippi, 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.
