Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Mercer Island, WA.

Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being given a chance to receive rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common among first time offenders, it can be offered at any time including while someone is already incarcerated. There are various types of rehab programs that offenders may be referred to, and this depends on what is available in Mercer Island and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.

There are rehab facilities that work primarily with the courts to administer to this specific group of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug treatment programs that can be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the person requires or desires that a different facility can't fulfill. The client's attorney can present such options to the judge for permission. There are even drug rehabilitation programs that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are often in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when enrolling in substance abuse rehab services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
