Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Sorento, Illinois who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Sorento are sometimes sentenced to participate at a drug treatment 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 instead of punishing them has shown to be very effective in Sorento, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
