Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehabilitation in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common among first time offenders, it can occur at any point including while the person is already incarcerated. There are various types of programs that offenders can be referred to, and it usually all depends on which programs are available in Albion and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the courts to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are typically state funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug recovery programs that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the person needs or prefers that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The client's legal representation can present such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when participating in substance abuse treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
