Clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation 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 be offered at any point including while someone is being held in jail. There are different types of programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this depends on which programs are local to Paducah and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work directly with the courts to treat this specific group of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug recovery centers that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the person needs or prefers that a state-funded facility can't fulfill. The client's attorney can propose such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even substance abuse treatment facilities that operate out of the jails themselves, in which case clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
