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

Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being given a chance to accept rehab in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can occur at any point such as while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of programs that offenders can be referred to, and this depends on what is local to Northpoint and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.

There are treatment programs that work directly with the courts to treat this explicit type of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug and alcohol recovery centers that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the person needs or wants that a state-funded program can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can push for such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even drug recovery programs that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other leniencies when participating in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
