Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are usually referred because they are being given a chance to accept rehabilitation rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can be offered at any point including while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are various types of programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this all depends on which programs are local to Lafayette and the type of issues the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific group of clientele, and are usually 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 can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the person needs or prefers that a different program can't provide. The defendant's attorney can push for such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug rehabilitation programs that operate out of the jails themselves, where clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when engaging in drug rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
