Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Westport who have been sent to drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been given because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Westport are sometimes sent to participate at a drug treatment facility 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 them has shown to be very effective in Westport, CT., not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
