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

Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are usually referred because they are being granted a chance to try their hand at rehab in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common among first time offenders, it can be offered at any point including while the defendant is being held in jail. There are different types of facilities that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and this depends on what is local to St. Petersburg and the type of drug or alcohol they'll need treatment for.

There are recovery programs that work directly with the courts to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug rehabilitation facilities that might be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the client requires or desires that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can request such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug rehabilitation programs that provide services from the jails themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when enrolling in substance abuse rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
