Clients Referred from the Court - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Altona, NY.

Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to receive treatment instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common among first time offenders, it can be offered at any point including while the person is already incarcerated. There are different types of programs that offenders may be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are available in Altona and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.

There are recovery programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system 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 rehab programs that might be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the client needs or desires that a state-funded facility can't fulfill. The defendant's legal representation can push for such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even substance abuse treatment facilities that provide services from the jails themselves, in which case clients are often in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when enrolling in substance abuse rehab services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
