Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Sheffield, AL.

Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to accept treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common with first time offenders, it can occur at any time including while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and it usually depends on what is local to Sheffield and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.

There are rehab facilities that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to treat this explicit type of clientele, and are usually state funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug rehabilitation facilities that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the client requires or prefers that a state-funded facility can't provide. The defendant's attorney can request such options to the judge for permission. There are even drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide services from the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in drug rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
