Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to receive rehab in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common with first time offenders, it can be offered at any time including while the person is already incarcerated. There are different types of facilities that offenders may be referred to, and this depends on what is available in Otway and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the courts to treat this explicit type of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse rehab centers that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the client needs or prefers that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The client's attorney can propose such options to the judge for approval. There are even addiction treatment facilities that provide services from the jails themselves, in which case clients are often in a better position for early release or other leniencies when enrolling in drug and alcohol rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
