Rehab for court appointed clients are for clients in Hopkinsville who have been sent to drug rehabilitation as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Hopkinsville are often sent to attend a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of other sentencing options such as jail time and heavy fines. 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 Hopkinsville, 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.
