Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehab rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common with first time offenders, it can happen at any point such as while the person is being held in jail. There are various types of facilities that offenders can be referred to, and it usually depends on what is attainable in Merrimack and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific group of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse rehab programs that might be approved by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client needs or prefers that a different program can't provide. The client's legal representation can request such options to the judge for permission. There are even drug and alcohol treatment programs that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when enrolling in addiction rehab services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
