Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - East Lyme, CT.

Clients referred from the court for substance abuse 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 happen at any time including while someone is being held in jail. There are various types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this depends on what is attainable in East Lyme and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.

There are programs that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to treat this explicit type of clientele, and are typically publicly-funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol treatment centers that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person requires or wants that a different facility can't fulfill. The defendant's legal representation can push for such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug recovery programs that provide services from the correctional institutions themselves, where clients are often in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when engaging in drug and alcohol treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
