Treatment clients referred from the court for drug treatment are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to receive treatment instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common with first time offenders, it can happen at any point including while the person is being held in jail. There are various types of programs that offenders can be referred to, and this depends on what is available in Watauga and the type of substance they'll need treatment for.
There are programs that work exclusively with the courts to treat this explicit type of clientele, and are usually state funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug treatment 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 defendant's legal representation can present such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug recovery facilities that provide services from the jails themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when participating in drug and alcohol rehab services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
