Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are some steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol treatment center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Guntown, Mississippi criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is required. Additionally, when the client is evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of the treatment plan.
