Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - West Medford, MA.

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 rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common among first time offenders, it can occur at any point such as while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are different types of programs that offenders may be referred to, and it usually all depends on which programs are local to West Medford and the type of drug or alcohol they'll need treatment for.

There are treatment programs that work primarily with the courts to administer to this explicit group of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse treatment programs that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client needs or wants that a different facility can't provide. The defendant's attorney can push for such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug rehab centers that provide services from the correctional facilities themselves, whereas clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when engaging in substance abuse rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
