Clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to accept treatment rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can occur at any point including while someone is being held in jail. There are different types of programs that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and this all depends on what is available in Jefferson and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the courts to treat this specific type 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 addiction rehab programs that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person requires or wants that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The client's legal representation can push for such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even addiction treatment facilities that operate out of the correctional institutions themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when enrolling in addiction rehab services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
