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