If a person is incarcerated because of drugs and drug use. Can this person get help with rehabilitation?

curious cat asked:


What type of programs are available… Would the person do the program while in jail or perhaps let out on probation while doing the program…Would it be a inpatient or outpatient program?

    It all depends on which facility they are at. Usually this is brought up at their trial & sentencing hearing so they can serve out their time at a facility that can meet their needs. Once you are in, there are a range of various programs to attend after you have “proven yourself” by following daily rules & regulations that are required. Many inmates are required to attend daily meetings inside & outside of jail according to the wishes of the Court, or their parole and probation officers. You usually do enough time to come out “clean”. Most “offenders” are released to “Half Way Houses”, where they get 24/7 counseling, with mandatory participation. If they fail to comply, they are returned to prison to serve out the remaining time they would have spent in the Half Way House Program.

    It depends on the state you live in. In Georgia there is no rehabilitation policy. They lock you away or place you on probation without any help for the addiction. Check your state laws or contact your local ADA. You may want to find a private non-profit center than can help you in your area if the courts will not or don’t. The local crisis center or lifeline should assist you in finding a center. But you will have to pay something for it. Usually they will base it on your income.
