Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are typically referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common among first time offenders, it can occur at any time including while the person is already incarcerated. There are different types of rehab programs that offenders might be referred to, and this all depends on which programs are local to Oakland and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific type of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug treatment centers that can be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the client needs or prefers that a different facility can't provide. The client's legal representation can request such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even addiction recovery centers that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, whereas clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when participating in drug rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
