Clients referred from the court for drug treatment are typically referred because they are being given a chance to accept rehab in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can happen at any time such as while someone is already incarcerated. There are different types of rehab programs that offenders can be referred to, and this all depends on what is available in Birch Harbor and the type of issues the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system to administer to this explicit group of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private drug rehabilitation facilities that may be approved by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the person needs or wants that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The client's attorney can propose such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even substance abuse treatment centers that operate out of the jails themselves, in which case clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when participating in drug treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
