Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to receive treatment instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common among first time offenders, it can happen at any time such as while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this depends on what is local to Shaktoolik and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system to administer to this specific group of clientele, and are typically state funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug treatment facilities that might be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the person needs or wants that a state-funded facility can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can propose such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even drug rehab programs that provide services from the correctional institutions themselves, whereas clients are typically in a better position for early release or other leniencies when engaging in addiction rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
