Clients referred from the court for drug treatment are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to receive rehab 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 someone is being held in jail. There are different types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and it usually depends on what is local to Chesapeake and the type of issues the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work directly with the courts to treat this explicit type of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private addiction rehab centers that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client needs or wants that a different facility can't provide. The defendant's attorney can present such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug rehabilitation programs that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other leniencies when engaging in drug and alcohol rehab services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
