Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can be offered at any time such as while someone is already incarcerated. There are various types of programs that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and this depends on which programs are available in St. Augustine and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work directly with the courts to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client needs or wants that a different program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can propose such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even substance abuse rehab centers that provide services from the correctional facilities themselves, whereas clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other leniencies when participating in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
