It may be difficult, and expensive, to find a rehab program that will be acceptable to the court. That being said, many hospitals offer such programs with aftercare. Some health insurance programs may cover such costs.
The court is familiar with the program at the Cook County Department of Corrections and the aftercare monitored by TASC (Treatment Alternatives against Street Crime). TASC, whose administrative offices are located at 1500 N. Halsted in Chicago, may also be a good resource, not only for alternative programs but also to explain their services.
Your friend should contact his attorney to discuss his options as well as to gain a thorough understanding of what occurred at the 402 conference. The 402 is a plea conference, under Illinois Supreme Court 402. If the charges will be reduced, it is generally discussed during the plea conference. The State's Attorney's Office generally does not reduce charges unless and until there is a plea pursuant to the conference. Only your friend's attorney can discuss the conference with him and any and all plea offers.
