Rehab for court appointed clients are for clients in Birmingham who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Birmingham are often sent to participate at a drug rehab facility in lieu of other justice actions such as jail time and heavy fines. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very helpful in Birmingham, AL., not only in getting the person 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.
