court-ordered rehab
Judge-prescribed recovery program
Court-ordered rehab is substance abuse or mental health treatment mandated by a judge, typically as an alternative to jail time or as a condition of probation.
The arrangement gives defendants a path toward recovery while keeping them accountable to the legal system: He got six months of court-ordered rehab instead of prison.
Failure to complete the program usually results in harsher sentencing.
