Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the treatment they need, there are some specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehab program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Menlo, Washington 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 required. Additionally, when they are screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
