Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to receive treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common among first time offenders, it can happen at any time such as while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of programs that offenders might be referred to, and this all depends on what is available in Marathon and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work exclusively with the courts to administer to this explicit group of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse treatment facilities that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client requires or prefers that a state-funded facility can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can propose such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even addiction recovery facilities that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when participating in addiction treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
