Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the treatment they need, there are a few specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation center. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Northfield, Connecticut criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is required. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated 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 a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
