Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these clients the treatment they need, there are some specific 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 treatment during their time in the Ghent, New York criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who decides if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is required. Furthermore, when the client is evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
