Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to accept treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can occur at any time such as while the person is being held in jail. There are different types of rehab programs that offenders can be referred to, and this depends on which programs are local to Thorndike and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work primarily with the courts to treat this specific group of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug recovery programs that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client requires or wants that a different facility can't provide. The defendant's attorney can request such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even substance abuse recovery facilities that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other leniencies when enrolling in addiction rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
