Treatment clients referred from the court for drug 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 most common among first time offenders, it can occur at any time including while someone is already incarcerated. There are various types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and it usually all depends on what is attainable in Troy and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific type of clientele, and are typically publicly-funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug and alcohol recovery centers that may be approved by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person needs or desires that a different program can't provide. The client's legal representation can push for such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even addiction rehabilitation centers that provide services from the correctional institutions themselves, whereas clients are often in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in drug rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
