Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Athens, ME.

Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to accept treatment rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can be offered at any time including while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are different types of rehab programs that offenders may be referred to, and it usually depends on what is available in Athens and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.

There are treatment programs that work primarily with the courts to administer to 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 treatment programs that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the client requires or desires that a different program can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can request such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even drug rehabilitation programs that provide services from the correctional institutions themselves, whereas clients are typically in a better position for early release or other leniencies when participating in drug rehab services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
