Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can occur at any time such as while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of facilities that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and it usually all depends on what is available in Columbus and the type of issues the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the courts to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug and alcohol recovery facilities that may be approved by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the client requires or wants that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can request such options to the judge for permission. There are even drug rehab facilities that provide services from the jails themselves, in which case clients are often in a better position for early release or other leniencies when enrolling in addiction rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
