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

Treatment clients referred from the court for drug rehabilitation are usually referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can occur at any point including while the person is being held in jail. There are various types of programs that offenders might be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are local to St. James and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.

There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the courts to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. There are also private drug rehab programs that can be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client requires or prefers that a different facility can't fulfill. The defendant's legal representation can present such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, whereas clients are often in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when engaging in substance abuse treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
