Rehabilitation for court appointed clients are for clients in Sharpsburg who have been sent to drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Sharpsburg are often sentenced to participate at a drug rehab facility 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 Sharpsburg, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in preventing the same drug or alcohol related crimes in the future.
