Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these clients the treatment they need, there are some specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug treatment center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Middle Amana, Iowa criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who determines if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is needed. Additionally, 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.
