Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at rehab in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with first time offenders, it can be offered at any point such as while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are different types of facilities that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and this all depends on which programs are attainable in Skowhegan and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to administer to this explicit type of clientele, and are typically publicly-funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client requires or prefers that a different facility can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can propose such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even addiction rehab programs that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when participating in drug treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
