Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are typically referred because they are being given a chance to receive treatment instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can be offered at any time such as while the person is already incarcerated. There are various types of programs that offenders can be referred to, and this all depends on what is available in Newport and the type of drug or alcohol they'll need treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work exclusively with the courts to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug recovery facilities that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the client needs or prefers that a different program can't provide. The defendant's attorney can push for such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even drug treatment facilities that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other leniencies when participating in substance abuse rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
