Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - St. Amant, LA.

Clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can occur at any point including while the person is already incarcerated. There are various types of programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this all depends on what is local to St. Amant and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.

There are programs that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to administer to this specific group of clientele, and are usually state funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse treatment programs that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the person needs or wants that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The client's legal representation can present such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug and alcohol rehab programs that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, in which case clients are often in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when enrolling in addiction rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
