Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - St. Joseph, IL.

Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment 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 occur at any point such as while the person is already incarcerated. There are various types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and this all depends on which programs are attainable in St. Joseph and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.

There are treatment programs that work directly with the courts to treat this specific type of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse rehab centers that can be approved by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person requires or wants that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can request such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even addiction recovery centers that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, in which case clients are often in a better position for early release or other leniencies when engaging in substance abuse rehab services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
