Treatment clients referred from the court for drug treatment are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to accept rehabilitation in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can be offered at any time such as while someone is being held in jail. There are different types of facilities that offenders may be referred to, and this all depends on which programs are available in Lauderdale 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 offered at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private addiction recovery programs that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person requires or prefers that a state-funded program can't provide. The defendant's attorney can push for such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, where clients are often in a better position for early release or other leniencies when engaging in addiction rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
