Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehab in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can occur at any time such as while the person is already incarcerated. There are various types of facilities that offenders may be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are available in Cambridge and the type of issues they'll need treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the courts to administer to this specific 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 addiction treatment centers that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the person requires or prefers that a different program can't provide. The defendant's attorney can push for such options to the judge for approval. There are even substance abuse recovery programs that operate out of the correctional institutions themselves, in which case clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when participating in drug and alcohol treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
