Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to receive treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can happen at any point including while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are different types of programs that offenders might be referred to, and this depends on what is local to Sharon and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work primarily with the courts to treat this specific type of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse rehabilitation programs that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client needs or prefers that a state-funded program can't provide. The defendant's attorney can present such options to the judge for approval. There are even drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that provide services from the jails themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when participating in drug treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
