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 clients the treatment they need, there are a few steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol treatment center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Pine Lawn, Missouri criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is required. Furthermore, when the client is screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
