Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to receive rehabilitation instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can be offered at any time such as while someone is already incarcerated. There are various types of facilities that offenders may be referred to, and this all depends on what is available in La Crosse and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to administer to this explicit group of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol treatment programs that can be approved by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client requires or prefers that a state-funded program can't provide. The defendant's attorney can propose such options to the judge for permission. There are even addiction recovery centers that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are typically in a better position for early release or other benefits when participating in drug rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
