Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to provide these individuals the treatment they need, there are some steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Bantam, Connecticut criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who determines if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
