Can a program handle a court referral?
The order sets the reporting. The clinical side is decided the same way it is for anyone. Drug court programs often have their own approved list and their own funding attached. Check whether the program is approved for your specific order before enrolling in it.
How long will I be away?
The block you are offered and the time the work takes are two different things, and that is the honest answer. Aftercare has no end date, and it is the part that runs alongside ordinary life. Ask what the longest and the shortest version of this program looks like.
