Drug rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are some steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab while involved in the Belvedere, California criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of drug treatment services 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. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
