Drug rehabilitation 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 specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery treatment center. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Mansfield, Tennessee criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who determines 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 evaluated for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
