Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are usually referred because they are being given a chance to accept rehabilitation instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with first time offenders, it can happen at any point including while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are various types of rehab programs that offenders might be referred to, and it usually all depends on what is local to Nipomo and the type of issues the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work primarily with the courts to administer to this explicit type of clientele, and are typically state funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug treatment facilities that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the person needs or prefers that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's legal representation can push for such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even substance abuse treatment programs that provide services from the correctional institutions themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when enrolling in substance abuse treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
