Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to receive rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with first time offenders, it can happen at any time including while the person is being held in jail. There are various types of programs that offenders might be referred to, and this depends on which programs are local to Punta Gorda and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug treatment facilities that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client needs or desires that a different program can't provide. The client's attorney can propose such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even addiction rehab facilities that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, where clients are often in a better position for early release or other leniencies when participating in drug and alcohol treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
