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 rehab in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common with first time offenders, it can occur at any point including while someone is already incarcerated. There are different types of facilities that offenders might be referred to, and it usually depends on what is local to Penobscot and the type of issues they'll need treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work directly with the courts to administer to this explicit type of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. There are also private addiction recovery centers that might be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client requires or desires that a state-funded program can't provide. The client's legal representation can present such options to the judge for approval. There are even drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide services from the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when engaging in substance abuse rehab services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
