Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Rome who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Rome are occasionally sent to attend a drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very successful in Rome, Pennsylvania, 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.
