Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Lacombe, Louisiana who have been sent to drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Lacombe are sometimes sentenced to participate at a drug rehabilitation program 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 instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very effective in Lacombe, 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.
