Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being given a chance to receive rehabilitation rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with first time offenders, it can happen at any point such as while someone is being held in jail. There are various types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and it usually depends on what is available in Richmond and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are programs that work directly with the courts to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse rehab programs that might be approved by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the client needs or wants that a different program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can request such options to the judge for permission. There are even addiction rehabilitation centers that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, whereas clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when enrolling in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
