Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Washington who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Washington, AR. are occasionally sent to attend a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of other sentencing options such as jail time and heavy fines. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has shown to be very effective in Washington, Arkansas, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
