Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in St. Paul, Iowa who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in St. Paul are often sentenced to participate at 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 rather than punishing and jailing them has shown to be very helpful in St. Paul, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
