Clients Referred from the Court - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Guernsey, IA.

Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehabilitation in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can be offered at any point including while the person is being held in jail. There are various types of programs that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and this all depends on what is available in Guernsey and the type of issues they'll need treatment for.

There are treatment programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system to administer to this explicit group of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that might be approved by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the person needs or wants that a state-funded facility can't provide. The defendant's attorney can request such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug recovery centers that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other leniencies when engaging in substance abuse rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
