Clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to receive rehabilitation instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with first time offenders, it can occur at any point such as while someone is already incarcerated. There are various types of facilities that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and it usually all depends on what is available in Newcastle and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work primarily 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 recovery programs that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person requires or prefers that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can present such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even drug and alcohol treatment facilities that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when enrolling in drug and alcohol rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
