Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are usually referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common among first time offenders, it can occur at any time such as while the person is being held in jail. There are different types of facilities that offenders can be referred to, and this depends on which programs are available in Portage and the type of drug or alcohol they'll need treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the courts to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are usually state funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private addiction rehabilitation facilities that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the client needs or prefers that a state-funded facility can't fulfill. The defendant's legal representation can request such options to the judge for permission. There are even drug rehab centers that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when enrolling in drug treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
