Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to accept treatment rather than face 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 different types of programs that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are available in Ligonier and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work directly with the courts to administer to this explicit group of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse rehabilitation programs that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client needs or desires that a different program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can push for such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even substance abuse rehab programs that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other leniencies when enrolling in substance abuse rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
