Clients referred from the court for drug treatment are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to receive rehabilitation instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with first time offenders, it can occur at any time such as while someone is being held in jail. There are various types of facilities that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this depends on which programs are attainable in Bath and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to treat this explicit type of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private addiction treatment programs that may be approved by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the person needs or desires that a different facility can't fulfill. The client's legal representation can request such options to the judge for approval. There are even substance abuse rehab centers that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, in which case clients are typically in a better position for early release or other leniencies when enrolling in drug and alcohol rehab services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
