Clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are usually referred because they are being given a chance to receive treatment instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can happen at any time such as while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are different types of programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this depends on what is attainable in Hazard and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work directly with the courts to administer to this specific group of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person requires or wants that a different program can't fulfill. The client's attorney can propose such options to the judge for approval. There are even addiction treatment facilities that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, in which case clients are typically in a better position for early release or other leniencies when enrolling in substance abuse treatment services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
