Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Washington, Texas 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 Washington are sometimes sent to attend a drug rehab program in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has shown to be very beneficial in Washington, Texas, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
