Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Cordova, MD. who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Cordova are sometimes sentenced to attend a drug treatment center in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has proven very helpful in Cordova, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
