Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can be offered at any point including while the defendant is being held in jail. There are different types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this all depends on which programs are attainable in Riverhead and the type of drug or alcohol they'll need treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the courts to administer to this explicit type of clientele, and are typically state funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol treatment facilities that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client requires or wants that a different program can't fulfill. The client's legal representation can push for such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug and alcohol recovery centers that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, in which case clients are typically in a better position for early release or other leniencies when enrolling in substance abuse treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
