Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for people in Hereford who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Hereford are occasionally sentenced to attend a drug treatment facility in lieu of other sentencing options such as heavy fines and jail time. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has shown to be very successful in Hereford, Pennsylvania, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
