Clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can be offered at any time such as while the person is being held in jail. There are different types of rehab programs that offenders might be referred to, and it usually all depends on which programs are local to Orcas and the type of issues the person requires treatment for.
There are programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system to administer to this explicit type of clientele, and are usually state funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private addiction rehab centers that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the person needs or wants that a different program can't fulfill. The defendant's legal representation can request such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even substance abuse recovery centers that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when participating in addiction treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
