Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Hammond, LA.

Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to accept treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent 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 which programs are available in Hammond and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.

There are rehab facilities that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific type of clientele, and are typically publicly-funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol recovery centers that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person requires or wants that a different facility can't fulfill. The client's legal representation can propose such options to the judge for approval. There are even drug recovery centers that operate out of the jails themselves, where clients are often in a better position for early release or other benefits when enrolling in addiction treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
