Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Imperial who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Imperial are often sent to enroll into a drug rehab 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 instead of punishing them has shown to be very helpful in Imperial, not only in getting the person 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.
