Clients referred from the court for drug treatment are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to accept treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common among first time offenders, it can be offered at any time such as while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are various types of rehab programs that offenders might be referred to, and this all depends on which programs are available in St. Francis and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are usually state funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug rehabilitation facilities that may be approved by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client needs or wants that a different program can't provide. The defendant's attorney can propose such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even drug rehabilitation centers that operate out of the correctional institutions themselves, in which case clients are often in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
