Treatment 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. Although this is more prevalent among first time offenders, it can occur at any time including while the defendant is already incarcerated. There are various types of programs that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and it usually depends on which programs are local to Kenova 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 specific group of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are available at little or no cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse rehab facilities that might be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the client requires or prefers that a different facility can't fulfill. The defendant's attorney can present such options to the judge for permission. There are even drug recovery centers that provide services from the correctional institutions themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when engaging in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
