Treatment clients referred from the court for drug treatment are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to receive treatment rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common with first time offenders, it can occur at any time including while the defendant is being held in jail. There are various types of facilities that offenders might be referred to, and this depends on what is available in Clear Lake and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work exclusively with the criminal justice court system to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are typically publicly-funded or are offered at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse treatment centers that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client needs or prefers that a different program can't fulfill. The client's attorney can request such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even addiction treatment centers that provide services from the correctional facilities themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when engaging in substance abuse rehab services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
