Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can occur at any point including while the person is already incarcerated. There are different types of facilities that offenders may be referred to, and it usually depends on what is attainable in Delaware and the type of substance the person requires 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 offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private addiction rehabilitation facilities that can be approved by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client needs or wants that a different program can't fulfill. The client's attorney can present such options to the judge for permission. There are even drug and alcohol rehab centers that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other leniencies when enrolling in drug treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
