Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to accept treatment instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can happen at any point such as while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of facilities that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are attainable in Ellsworth and the type of drug or alcohol they'll need treatment for.
There are programs that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private addiction treatment programs that might be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client needs or wants that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can present such options to the judge for approval. There are even addiction rehabilitation facilities that operate out of the correctional institutions themselves, whereas clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when engaging in addiction treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
