[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 509364"] I am wondering what the mechanism is for the court to order rehab? I believe where we live there are two ways... one is a court case where a person has been charged with a crime and the defense attorney and the DA agree on a plea agreement which includes rehab. Clearly if the person did not follow that they could be put back in jail. In this case the defendant of course has to agree to the plea agreement and understand the consequences if they don't follow through. This has been what has happened a couple of times with my son. In our case we got him to rehab which was out of state. The other way is to go to court and get the person committed to rehab because they are a danger to themselves or others... this can be difficult to do but i have seen it done. I don't think here anyway, that the court would just order rehab if it was not one of these two scenarios....so I am a little confused how the court will order rehab in your sons case? Do they do it differently where you live? As far as transport that is a good question.....not sure how it would happen if part of plea deal. If it was court committment then I think the court would provide transportation but I am not sure how they choose the facility. I think a lot will depend on how your son feels about being in jail and will he be scared enough to follow through if he knows that if he doesn't he will end up back in jail? After two weeks in jail my son was willing to do anything not to be there again. (Unfortunately I am not sure the fear of jail has stayed with him). TL [/QUOTE]
