Clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at rehab rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common among first time offenders, it can be offered at any point such as while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are different types of programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are attainable in Bucksport and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are programs that work primarily with the courts to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse rehabilitation programs that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person needs or desires that a different program can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can request such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even drug and alcohol rehab programs that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, where clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when enrolling in substance abuse rehab services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
