Clients Referred from the Court - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Athens, WV.

Clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol rehabilitation are typically referred because they are being given a chance to try their hand at rehab in lieu of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common with first time offenders, it can be offered at any time such as while the defendant is being held in jail. There are different types of rehab programs that offenders can be referred to, and this depends on which programs are local to Athens and the type of drug or alcohol the person requires treatment for.

There are programs that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to treat this explicit group of clientele, and are typically state funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. Additionally, there are also private drug and alcohol recovery facilities that may be approved by the court if there is a specific type of rehab that the client requires or prefers that a different program can't fulfill. The client's attorney can push for such alternatives to the judge for approval. There are even drug treatment centers that provide services from the jails themselves, whereas clients are often in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in addiction rehabilitation services while serving their time for a drug related offense or a DUI/DWI.
