Clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are typically referred because they are being given a chance to receive rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can occur at any time including while the person is being held in jail. There are various types of programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this depends on what is local to Lake Arrowhead and the type of issues the person requires treatment for.
There are programs that work exclusively 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 substance abuse recovery facilities that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the client needs or wants that a different facility can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can request such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even drug recovery facilities that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other leniencies when enrolling in drug and alcohol treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
