Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to receive rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with first time offenders, it can happen at any point such as while the person is already incarcerated. There are different types of programs that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and it usually depends on what is available in Islesboro and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the courts to administer to this specific group of clientele, and are usually state funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug rehab facilities that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person requires or prefers that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can propose such options to the judge for approval. There are even drug rehab centers that provide services from the jails themselves, in which case clients are often in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when enrolling in substance abuse treatment services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
