Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug treatment program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Pitkin, Louisiana criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is required. Additionally, when the client is screened for drug addiction 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 substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
