Clients Referred from the Court - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Northampton, PA.

Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to receive rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common among first time offenders, it can occur at any point such as while someone is already incarcerated. There are various types of programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are local to Northampton and the type of issues they'll need treatment for.

There are programs that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to treat this explicit type of clientele, and are usually state funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse treatment programs that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the person needs or desires that a different facility can't provide. The defendant's attorney can request such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even substance abuse treatment programs that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when engaging in substance abuse treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
