Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment 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 more prevalent with first time offenders, it can be offered at any time such as while someone is being held in jail. There are different types of facilities that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and this depends on what is available in Leigh and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work exclusively with the courts to treat this specific type of clientele, and are typically publicly-funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse rehab facilities that can be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the person needs or prefers that a state-funded facility can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can propose such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even substance abuse recovery centers that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, where clients are often in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when engaging in drug and alcohol treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
