Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to receive treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can occur at any time such as while someone is being held in jail. There are various types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and it usually all depends on which programs are available in Pittsfield and the type of issues they'll need treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. There are also private addiction recovery facilities that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the person needs or wants that a state-funded facility can't provide. The client's legal representation can present such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even addiction rehabilitation programs that operate out of the jails and prisons themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when enrolling in drug rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
