Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - St. Bernard, LA.

Treatment clients referred from the court for drug rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to accept rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can be offered at any point including while someone is already incarcerated. There are various types of programs that offenders may be referred to, and this all depends on what is attainable in St. Bernard and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.

There are programs that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are usually state funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. There are also private addiction recovery centers that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client requires or desires that a different facility can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can present such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even addiction treatment facilities that provide services from the correctional facilities themselves, in which case clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in substance abuse rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
