Clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common among first time offenders, it can occur at any time such as while the person is already incarcerated. There are various types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and this depends on what is local to Rockland and the type of issues they'll need treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work directly with the courts to treat this specific type of clientele, and are typically publicly-funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse rehabilitation programs that can be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the person requires or prefers that a different program can't fulfill. The client's legal representation can push for such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even addiction treatment centers that operate out of the jails themselves, whereas clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when engaging in addiction rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
