Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Palm Beach 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 Palm Beach are sometimes sentenced to participate at a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of other sentencing options 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 them has shown to be very beneficial in Palm Beach, 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.
