Treatment clients referred from the court for drug treatment are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to accept treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can occur at any time including while someone is already incarcerated. There are different types of facilities that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this depends on which programs are available in Lakewood and the type of issues they'll need treatment for.
There are programs that work directly with the courts to treat this explicit type of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol recovery facilities that might be approved by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the person needs or prefers that a different facility can't provide. The client's attorney can propose such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even drug and alcohol recovery facilities that operate out of the jails themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in drug and alcohol treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
