Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Mercer, TN.

Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to accept treatment 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 being held in jail. There are various types of programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are local to Mercer and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.

There are recovery programs that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific group of clientele, and are usually state funded or are offered at little or no cost to the client. There are also private addiction treatment programs that can be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client needs or wants that a different facility can't provide. The client's legal representation can propose such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even addiction rehab programs that provide services from the jails themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in addiction rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
