Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are usually referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can happen at any time such as while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this depends on which programs are available in Meridian and the type of issues they'll need treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work primarily with the courts to administer to this specific group of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse treatment programs that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the client needs or wants that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The client's legal representation can push for such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even addiction rehabilitation programs that operate out of the jails themselves, whereas clients are often in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when participating in substance abuse rehab services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
