Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in New Albin who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in New Albin are occasionally sentenced to attend a drug rehabilitation center 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 them has shown to be very successful in New Albin, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
