Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are a few steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehab program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Pearlington, Mississippi criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when the client is screened 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 treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
