Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common among first time offenders, it can be offered at any point including while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of facilities that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are available in Bridgeport and the type of issues they'll need treatment for.
There are programs that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific type of clientele, and are typically state funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol treatment programs that might be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person needs or wants that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can propose such options to the judge for permission. There are even substance abuse rehabilitation centers that operate out of the correctional institutions themselves, whereas clients are often in a better position for early release or other leniencies when engaging in drug rehab services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
