Clients Referred from the Court - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Merit, TX.

Treatment clients referred from the court for drug treatment are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can occur at any point such as while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of facilities that offenders might be referred to, and this all depends on what is local to Merit and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.

There are treatment programs that work directly with the courts to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are typically state funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private addiction treatment centers that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client needs or desires that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's legal representation can push for such options to the judge for permission. There are even drug rehab programs that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, where clients are typically in a better position for early release or other leniencies when enrolling in addiction rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
