Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehabilitation instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common among first time offenders, it can occur at any point including while the person is already incarcerated. There are various types of rehab programs that offenders might be referred to, and this depends on what is local to Lewiston and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific type of clientele, and are typically publicly-funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug rehab programs that can be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the person requires or prefers that a state-funded facility can't fulfill. The client's attorney can push for such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even addiction treatment programs that provide services from the jails themselves, whereas clients are typically in a better position for early release or other benefits when engaging in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
