Clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to receive rehabilitation in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common with first time offenders, it can occur at any point including while the defendant is being held in jail. There are different types of facilities that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this all depends on which programs are attainable in Newark and the type of issues the person requires treatment for.
There are programs that work primarily with the courts to administer to this explicit type of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse rehab centers that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client needs or desires that a different program can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can request such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even drug and alcohol recovery centers that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when participating in drug treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
