Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Oneida, New York who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Oneida are often sent to participate at a drug rehabilitation facility 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 and jailing them has shown to be very successful in Oneida, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
