Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are usually referred because they are being given a chance to receive treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can occur at any point including while someone is being held in jail. There are different types of facilities that offenders may be referred to, and this depends on what is attainable in Huntington and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work directly with the courts to treat this specific type of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private addiction rehabilitation facilities that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client requires or prefers that a state-funded facility can't fulfill. The defendant's legal representation can request such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even addiction treatment centers that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, whereas clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when participating in drug and alcohol rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
