Drug 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 some specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab center. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Larose, Louisiana criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is required. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues 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 the treatment plan.
