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

Clients referred from the court for drug rehabilitation are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehab rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common among first time offenders, it can happen at any time including while the person is already incarcerated. There are various types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this depends on which programs are local to St. Landry and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.

There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the courts to treat this specific type of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse rehab programs that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the client requires or wants that a different facility can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can present such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even substance abuse rehabilitation centers that operate out of the jails themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when participating in drug rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
