Drug Rehab Centers for People in Trouble With the Law

There are a few options in rehab venues for people who are in trouble with the law. Depending on the level of legal involvement, you can either be voluntarily admitted or court committed to a rehabilitation center. There are treatment programs within the prison system for those who are sentenced to incarceration. The court recognized rehab centers that are outside of the prison system are sometimes used as a sentence as an alternative to prison.

Public Rehab

• Courts will sometimes recognize an intuitive on the part of the defendant to enroll in a rehab center of their own choosing. The office of probation might be assigned to follow the progress with another court appearance set to evaluate the situation upon completion of the rehab program. This is a scenario mostly seen is lesser offensive crimes.

Incarceration Without Bars

• The court could appoint the defendant to a rehab that is recognized by the penal system leaving no choice for rehabilitation locations. These centers tend to be strict and less accommodating than the ones offered to the general public. Some states have military type boot camp rehabs that are not only recognized by the court but a preferred sentencing site.

Intense Community Based

• There is a nationwide intense community drug based sentencing venue called "drug court." This is an alternative to incarceration. This rehab treatment is overseen by the sitting judge and is highly supervised. This is done while living in the community with strict guidelines and curfew.

Rehab In A Prison

• A rehab program within a prison is the choice for most courts for the re-offending defendant. This site provides the basic minimums and is the least accommodating drug rehab program. The rehabilitation is done while the person is behind bars and doing his prison time for the crimes committed.

Chemical Rehab

• There are chemical rehab programs that the court seldom recognizes as a rehab sentence when done by itself. Methadone as replacement therapy or Naltrexone as an antagonist therapy are medications found in the two chemical treatment types offered today. The court usually mandates probation or counseling with treatment.
