Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are usually referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation rather than face 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 being held in jail. There are different types of programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this depends on what is local to Somerville and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work directly with the criminal justice court system to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that might be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client needs or desires that a state-funded program can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can propose such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even addiction rehabilitation facilities that operate out of the correctional institutions themselves, in which case clients are often in a better position for early release or other leniencies when participating in drug and alcohol treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
