Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - St. Marys, PA.

Clients referred from the court for drug treatment are typically referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is most common among first time offenders, it can occur at any time such as while someone is being held in jail. There are various types of programs that offenders may be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are attainable in St. Marys and the type of issues the person requires treatment for.

There are recovery programs that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to administer to this explicit group of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse rehabilitation centers that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the client needs or prefers that a state-funded facility can't fulfill. The defendant's legal representation can propose such options to the judge for permission. There are even substance abuse rehab programs that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other leniencies when participating in addiction rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
