Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being given a chance to receive 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 point such as while someone is being held in jail. There are different types of facilities that offenders may be referred to, and it usually all depends on which programs are available in Amsterdam and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are programs that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are usually state funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse treatment programs that can be approved by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the client needs or prefers that a state-funded facility can't provide. The client's legal representation can propose such options to the judge for permission. There are even substance abuse treatment programs that provide services from the correctional institutions themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other leniencies when engaging in addiction rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
