Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Amherst, NH.

Treatment clients referred from the court for drug treatment are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common with 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 might be referred to, and it usually all depends on what is local to Amherst and the type of drug or alcohol they'll need treatment for.

There are treatment programs that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific type of clientele, and are usually state funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that can be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client requires or prefers that a different program can't provide. The client's attorney can propose such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that operate out of the jails themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other leniencies when participating in drug rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
