Treatment clients referred from the court for drug treatment are usually referred because they are being given a chance to receive rehabilitation instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common among first time offenders, it can happen at any time such as while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are various types of rehab programs that offenders might be referred to, and it usually depends on what is local to Atascadero and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are programs that work directly 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 substance abuse recovery facilities that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the person requires or prefers that a different program can't provide. The defendant's attorney can request such options to the judge for approval. There are even addiction rehab centers that provide services from the correctional facilities themselves, in which case clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in addiction rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
