Rehab for court appointed clients are for clients in Hayes, Louisiana who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Hayes are sometimes sentenced to attend a drug treatment program in lieu of other sentencing options 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 and jailing them has shown to be very successful in Hayes, not only in getting the person 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.
