Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Niobe, New York criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is required. Additionally, when the client is screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
