Clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being given a chance to accept treatment rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent with 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 might be referred to, and it usually all depends on what is attainable in Belfast and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to administer to this specific 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 addiction recovery facilities that can be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the person needs or wants that a different program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can push for such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug recovery centers that operate out of the correctional institutions themselves, whereas clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when engaging in drug and alcohol rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
