Rehab for court appointed clients are for clients in Columbia who have been required to attend drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related criminal activity. Court appointed clients in Columbia are often sent to enroll into 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 approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has shown to be very beneficial in Columbia, NC., 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.
