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 a few steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery treatment center. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Mackinaw, Illinois criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when the client is evaluated 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 substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
