Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Athens, PA.

Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are typically referred because they are being given a chance to accept rehab rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can occur at any point including while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of programs that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this depends on what is available in Athens and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.

There are programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific type of clientele, and are typically publicly-funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private addiction rehab centers that can be approved by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client requires or wants that a state-funded facility can't provide. The defendant's attorney can request such options to the judge for approval. There are even substance abuse recovery facilities that provide services from the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when enrolling in substance abuse rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
