Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Monticello who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Monticello are often sent to enroll into a drug rehabilitation center in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing them has shown to be very beneficial in Monticello, not only in getting the individual 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.
