Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Aberdeen, MS. 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 Aberdeen are sometimes sent to participate at a drug treatment center 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 rather than punishing them has proven very effective in Aberdeen, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
