Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehabilitation rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can happen at any point such as while the person is being held in jail. There are different types of facilities that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this depends on which programs are attainable in Como and the type of issues they'll need treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work directly with the courts to administer to this explicit type of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol treatment facilities that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client needs or desires that a different facility can't provide. The client's attorney can propose such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even addiction rehabilitation programs that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are typically in a better position for early release or other leniencies when enrolling in drug rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
