Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are usually referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can occur at any point such as while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of programs that offenders may be referred to, and it usually all depends on which programs are available in Chebeague Island and the type of issues the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work primarily with the courts to administer to this specific group of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol treatment programs that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person needs or prefers that a state-funded program can't provide. The defendant's attorney can propose such options to the judge for approval. There are even addiction rehab centers that provide services from the correctional institutions themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when enrolling in substance abuse treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
