Drug or alcohol rehabilitation 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 specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug treatment program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Elbert, West Virginia 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. Additionally, when they are screened 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 the rehabilitation plan.
