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 clients the rehabilitation they need, there are some steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab while involved in the Dayton, New York criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
