Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for clients in Shady Spring who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Shady Spring are sometimes sent to enroll into a drug rehab center in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very effective in Shady Spring, not only in getting the person 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.
