Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at rehab in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with first time offenders, it can be offered at any time including while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of facilities that offenders might be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are local to Okeechobee and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific group of clientele, and are usually state funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug treatment programs that can be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the person needs or desires that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can request such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even substance abuse recovery centers that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are often in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when participating in substance abuse treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
