Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Canal Point who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Canal Point are occasionally sent to attend a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has shown to be very effective in Canal Point, 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.
