Clients referred from the court for drug rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at treatment rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can be offered at any time including while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are various types of rehab programs that offenders might be referred to, and it usually all depends on which programs are attainable in Shreveport and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are programs that work primarily with the courts to treat this specific type of clientele, and are usually state funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. There are also private drug treatment centers that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person needs or wants that a state-funded program can't provide. The client's attorney can present such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug rehab facilities that provide services from the correctional institutions themselves, whereas clients are typically in a better position for early release or other leniencies when participating in drug treatment services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
