Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to accept treatment instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common among first time offenders, it can occur at any time such as while the person is already incarcerated. There are different types of programs that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and this all depends on which programs are attainable in Natchitoches and the type of issues the person requires treatment for.
There are programs that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to administer to 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 substance abuse rehabilitation programs that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the person requires or prefers that a state-funded facility can't provide. The client's attorney can propose such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even substance abuse recovery programs that provide services from the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are typically in a better position for early release or other benefits when engaging in drug and alcohol rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
