Clients referred from the court for drug treatment are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to accept treatment rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common among first time offenders, it can happen at any time including while the person is already incarcerated. There are different types of rehab programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and it usually all depends on which programs are local to Knoxville and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work exclusively with the courts to administer to this specific type of clientele, and are usually publicly-funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private addiction treatment programs that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client requires or desires that a state-funded facility can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can present such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even substance abuse rehabilitation programs that operate out of the jails themselves, in which case clients are often in a better position for early release or other leniencies when participating in drug rehab services while serving their time for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
