Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Waveland, Mississippi who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Waveland are sometimes sent to participate at a drug rehabilitation center in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very beneficial in Waveland, not only in getting the individual 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.
