Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Palatine who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Palatine are often sent to attend a drug rehab facility in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has proven very successful in Palatine, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
