Criminal Justice Clients - Lakewood

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 rehabilitation they need, there are some steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehab center. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Lakewood, New York criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
