Rehab for court appointed clients are for people in Meridian, New York who have been required to attend drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been given because of an alcohol or drug related crime. Court appointed clients in Meridian are sometimes sent to enroll into a drug treatment program in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is sometimes the case with first time offenders. This approach of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has proven very beneficial in Meridian, 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.
