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