Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are usually referred because they are being given a chance to receive treatment instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with first time offenders, it can occur at any point such as while the defendant is being held in jail. There are different types of facilities that offenders can be referred to, and this depends on what is local to Brussels and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific type of clientele, and are typically state funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private addiction treatment centers that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation 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 rehabilitation centers that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, whereas clients are often in a better position for early release or other benefits when participating in addiction rehab services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
