Clients referred from the court for drug treatment are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at treatment rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with first time offenders, it can occur at any time such as while the person is already incarcerated. There are different types of programs that offenders might be referred to, and this all depends on what is local to Occidental and the type of issues they'll need treatment for.
There are programs that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private addiction treatment centers that may be approved by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client needs or prefers that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The client's attorney can present such options to the judge for permission. There are even drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, where clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when enrolling in substance abuse rehab services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
