Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug treatment program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Florence, Alabama criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is required. Furthermore, when the client is evaluated for drug addiction 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 the treatment plan.
