Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to receive rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can happen at any point including while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are various types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and this all depends on what is available in Swanton and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work directly with the criminal justice court system to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse rehab facilities that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the person requires or prefers that a state-funded program can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can request such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even drug treatment facilities that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, in which case clients are often in a better position for early release or other benefits when enrolling in drug rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
