Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at treatment rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common among first time offenders, it can be offered at any time such as while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this all depends on which programs are attainable in Reading and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse recovery programs that may be approved by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person needs or prefers that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can present such alternatives to the judge for permission. There are even drug and alcohol treatment centers that operate out of the correctional institutions themselves, whereas clients are often in a better position for early release or other benefits when engaging in substance abuse rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
