Clients Referred from the Court - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Athens, AL.

Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehabilitation instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can occur at any point such as while the person is already incarcerated. There are different types of facilities that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and this depends on what is attainable in Athens and the type of drug or alcohol they'll need treatment for.

There are programs that work primarily with the courts to treat this specific type of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug treatment facilities that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client requires or prefers that a state-funded facility can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can propose such options to the judge for permission. There are even drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide services from the jails themselves, whereas clients are typically in a better position for early release or other leniencies when participating in drug rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
