Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Shelby, NC.

Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to receive rehab rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common among first time offenders, it can be offered at any time including while someone is already incarcerated. There are different types of programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this depends on what is available in Shelby and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.

There are programs that work primarily with the courts to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are typically state funded or are available at little or no 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 treatment that the client needs or wants that a state-funded program can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can push for such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug and alcohol rehab programs that operate out of the jails themselves, whereas clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when engaging in drug rehab services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
