Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for individuals in Wyoming who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Wyoming are often sentenced to attend a drug rehab center 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 and jailing them has proven very beneficial in Wyoming, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
