Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in St. Clair who have been sent to drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in St. Clair are sometimes sent to enroll into a drug rehab program in lieu of other sentencing options such as jail time and heavy fines. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has proven very beneficial in St. Clair, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
