Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are some specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol treatment program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Jennings, Louisiana 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 necessary. Additionally, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, 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.
