Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to provide these individuals the treatment they need, there are a few steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery treatment facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Patterson, 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 necessary. Furthermore, when the client is evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
