Rehab for court appointed clients are for clients in Hickman 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 Hickman are sometimes sentenced to participate at a drug rehabilitation center in lieu of other sentencing options such as jail time and heavy fines. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal rather than punishing and jailing them has proven very helpful in Hickman, Kentucky, 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.
