Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Downingtown 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 Downingtown are occasionally sent to attend a drug treatment facility in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has shown to be very effective in Downingtown, 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.
