Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to provide these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are a few steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Fort Mitchell, Kentucky criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated 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 they are screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
