Treatment clients referred from the court for drug treatment are typically 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 happen at any point such as while the person is already incarcerated. There are various types of rehab programs that offenders may be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are available in Ernest and the type of issues they'll need treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse treatment programs that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the client needs or wants that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's legal representation can push for such options to the judge for approval. There are even drug treatment facilities that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, in which case clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in drug and alcohol rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
