Clients referred from the court for drug treatment are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehabilitation instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can occur at any time including while the person is being held in jail. There are different types of programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this all depends on which programs are local to Kennard and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work exclusively with the courts to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol treatment centers that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person requires or desires that a different facility can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can push for such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, whereas clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when enrolling in addiction treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
