Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to receive rehab in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can occur at any time including while someone is already incarcerated. There are various types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this all depends on which programs are local to Tulare and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work exclusively 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 no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private substance abuse rehabilitation centers that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of recovery method that the person needs or prefers that a state-funded facility can't fulfill. The client's attorney can present such options to the judge for approval. There are even drug recovery centers that provide services from the jails and prisons themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when enrolling in drug and alcohol rehab services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
