Clients referred from the court for substance abuse treatment are typically referred because they are being granted a chance to receive treatment in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common with first time offenders, it can occur at any point including while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are various types of facilities that criminal justice clients can be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are local to Downing and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.
There are treatment programs that work primarily with the courts to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are typically publicly-funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private addiction treatment programs that can be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the client requires or prefers that a different program can't provide. The defendant's attorney can request such options to the judge for acceptance. There are even addiction treatment programs that operate out of the correctional institutions themselves, where clients are typically in a better position for reduced sentences or other benefits when participating in drug treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
