Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehabilitation facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Ackerman, Mississippi criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who decides if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
