Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehab rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. Although this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can occur at any time including while the person is being held in jail. There are various types of facilities that offenders might be referred to, and this depends on which programs are available in Chattanooga and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are rehab facilities that work exclusively with the courts to treat this specific group of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse rehab programs that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the person requires or wants that a state-funded program can't fulfill. The client's legal representation can push for such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug and alcohol rehab programs that provide services from the jails themselves, whereas clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when engaging in drug treatment services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
