Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to accept treatment instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with first time offenders, it can be offered at any point including while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are different types of programs that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and it usually all depends on which programs are available in Athens 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 group of clientele, and are typically state funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private addiction rehabilitation programs that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client requires or prefers that a different facility can't provide. The client's attorney can request such options to the judge for permission. There are even substance abuse rehab centers that provide services from the correctional institutions themselves, whereas clients are typically in a better position for early release or other benefits when participating in addiction treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
