Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to accept treatment rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can happen at any time including while the person is being held in jail. There are various types of programs that offenders might be referred to, and this all depends on what is attainable in Vian and the type of issues the person requires treatment for.
There are programs that work directly with the courts to treat this specific type of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that can be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the person needs or wants that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The client's attorney can push for such options to the judge for approval. There are even drug rehab centers that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, whereas clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in drug and alcohol treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
