Treatment clients referred from the court for substance abuse rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at rehabilitation instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can occur at any time including while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are various types of facilities that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and this depends on which programs are local to Washington Crossing and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work directly with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific group of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol treatment programs that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client needs or prefers that a different facility can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can push for such options to the judge for approval. There are even addiction rehab facilities that operate out of the correctional facilities themselves, where clients are often in a better position for early release or other benefits when participating in drug rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
