Rehab for court appointed clients are for clients in Oppelo who have been required to attend drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Oppelo are often sent to participate at a drug rehab center in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is typically the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing and jailing them has shown to be very successful in Oppelo, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same alcohol or drug related crimes in the future.
