Clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are usually referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can happen at any point including while the person is being held in jail. There are different types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and it usually all depends on what is attainable in San Rafael and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.
There are programs that work primarily with the courts to treat this explicit type of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug and alcohol recovery programs that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person requires or wants that a different facility can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can request such options to the judge for permission. There are even addiction treatment programs that operate out of the correctional institutions themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in drug treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
