Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these clients the treatment they need, there are some steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug treatment program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Newton, Massachusetts 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 required. Furthermore, when the client is screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
