Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are typically referred because they are being given a chance to accept treatment instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can be offered at any time such as while the person is being held in jail. There are different types of facilities that offenders might be referred to, and this depends on which programs are attainable in Owensboro and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse treatment facilities that can be approved by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the person needs or wants that a different facility can't provide. The defendant's attorney can propose such options to the judge for permission. There are even drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that provide services from the correctional facilities themselves, in which case clients are typically in a better position for early release or other benefits when engaging in substance abuse rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
