Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with first time offenders, it can be offered at any time including while the person is already incarcerated. There are different types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this depends on what is attainable in Newcastle and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work directly with the courts to treat this specific group of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse treatment centers that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the person requires or desires that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The client's attorney can push for such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even substance abuse rehab programs that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are typically in a better position for early release or other leniencies when enrolling in addiction treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
