Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common among first time offenders, it can be offered at any point such as while the person is already incarcerated. There are different types of facilities that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and it usually all depends on what is available in Boston and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work exclusively with the courts to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private addiction rehab programs that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client requires or desires that a different program can't provide. The client's legal representation can request such options to the judge for permission. There are even substance abuse recovery facilities that provide services from the jails themselves, whereas clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in addiction rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
