Clients referred from the court for drug treatment are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to receive rehabilitation rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with first time offenders, it can happen at any time such as while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and it usually depends on what is available in Austin and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse recovery facilities that might be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the client requires or prefers that a different program can't fulfill. The client's attorney can present such options to the judge for permission. There are even substance abuse rehab facilities that operate out of the correctional institutions themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other leniencies when engaging in substance abuse treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
