Rehab for court appointed clients are for individuals in Opelika, Alabama who have been sent to drug rehab as part of a sentence which has been issued because of an alcohol or drug related crime.

This is most often the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has shown to be very effective in Opelika, not only in getting the person abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
