Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common among first time offenders, it can happen at any point such as while the person is already incarcerated. There are various types of facilities that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this depends on what is local to Matinicus and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the courts to treat this specific type 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 treatment facilities that can be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person requires or prefers that a different facility can't provide. The defendant's attorney can request such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even substance abuse treatment facilities that provide services from the correctional facilities themselves, whereas clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when engaging in substance abuse rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
