Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Summit, NJ.

Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are typically referred because they are being given a chance to accept treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can be offered at any time including while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are various types of programs that offenders may be referred to, and this depends on what is available in Summit and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.

There are programs that work primarily with the courts to administer to this specific group of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private addiction rehabilitation centers that may be approved by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the person requires or wants that a state-funded program can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can push for such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide services from the jails themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when enrolling in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
