Drug rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these individuals the treatment they need, there are a few steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehab facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Monterey, Louisiana criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when the client is evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
