Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can occur at any point including while someone is already incarcerated. There are various types of programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and it usually all depends on what is available in Covington and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system to administer to this specific group of clientele, and are usually state funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that might be approved by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person requires or desires that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can propose such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug recovery facilities that operate out of the jails themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when enrolling in substance abuse rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
