Clients Referred from the Court - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Lehigh Valley, PA.

Clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are usually referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at treatment instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can happen at any point including while the person is being held in jail. There are different types of programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this depends on what is attainable in Lehigh Valley and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.

There are programs that work exclusively with the courts to treat this specific type of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug rehab programs that may be approved 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 push for such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even substance abuse rehabilitation centers that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, whereas clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when engaging in drug rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
