Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are usually referred because they are being given a chance to receive treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common with first time offenders, it can be offered at any time such as while someone is being held in jail. There are various types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this all depends on what is attainable in Baton Rouge and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work primarily with the courts to treat this specific group of clientele, and are typically state funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol treatment facilities that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the person requires or desires that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's legal representation can propose such options to the judge for permission. There are even drug rehabilitation centers that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, whereas clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when engaging in addiction treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
