New Jersey Court Ordered Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers

New Jersey court-ordered treatment provides individuals with the chance of recovery and a fresh start after being convicted of a drug-related crime. These programs are designed to get people the treatment they need while also reducing the amount of drug-related crime.

Addiction recovery starts with a healthy treatment program. In the state of New Jersey, roughly 59 percent of adults over 18 years old drink alcohol and 24 percent binge drink, says the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Among young adults, almost 44 percent binge drink and more than 65 percent drink alcohol. Unfortunately, alcohol and illicit substance abuse directly impact criminal activity.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration states that 38 percent of first arrests relate to alcohol abuse and 18 percent of first offenses relate to illicit substance abuse. When an individual commits a crime after abusing a substance, court-ordered treatment helps with the recovery process and provides a chance to gain a fresh start.

What is Court-Ordered Treatment?

Court-ordered treatment refers to any alcohol or drug treatment program that a court requires after an individual commits a crime. In many cases, first time offenders and adolescents are given treatment options rather than time in jail. For example, the individual may be offered parole if they follow a treatment program. In other situations, the treatment occurs after completing time in jail or prison.

Treatments are usually appropriate for non-violent crimes, like theft, or as part of the consequence associated with driving under the influence of a substance. It is particularly appropriate for young adults and adolescents because early treatment helps reduce the risk of long-term substance abuse or the development of an addiction.

Addiction Treatment Plans

Addiction treatment plans depend on the needs and goals of each individual. A court-ordered program offers similar treatments to programs that do not work with the criminal justice system. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a court-mandated treatment is as effective as a voluntary treatment. In some cases, it is even more effective because of the legal consequences associated with the situation.

Common therapies included in a treatment plan include:

  • Group or family therapy
  • Individual counseling
  • Cognitive therapies
  • Nutritional therapies
  • Exercise programs
  • Treatments for physical ailments or health conditions
  • Treatments for mental health concerns

A personalized treatment plan allows an individual to obtain his or her recovery goals. Since effective treatment focuses on personal belief systems and goals, court-ordered programs offer a variety of options to help with recovery. In some cases, holistic or alternative therapies support or assist the scientific and traditional treatment plans.
