Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for clients in Whitney who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Whitney are often sentenced to enroll into 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 approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has shown to be very successful in Whitney, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
