Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to provide these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery treatment program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Goshen, Connecticut 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 required. Furthermore, when they are screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
