Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehabilitation instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common with first time offenders, it can happen at any point including while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of facilities that offenders might be referred to, and this depends on which programs are local to Georgetown and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are programs that work exclusively with the courts to treat this explicit type of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug rehabilitation facilities that might be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client requires or prefers that a different facility can't provide. The client's attorney can request such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even drug rehab facilities that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in drug treatment services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
