Clients referred from the court for drug treatment are usually referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common with first time offenders, it can be offered at any point such as while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are various types of programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this all depends on what is available in Oakland and the type of issues they'll need treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are typically state funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol rehab facilities that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client requires or desires that a state-funded facility can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can propose such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, whereas clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in drug and alcohol treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
