Clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being given a chance to accept treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can be offered at any point such as while someone is being held in jail. There are different types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this all depends on what is local to Harpswell and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work directly with the courts to administer to this specific group of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug treatment programs that might be approved by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the client needs or desires that a state-funded facility can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can propose such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even addiction treatment programs that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when participating in drug and alcohol rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
