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 some specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery treatment program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Pocahontas, Illinois criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who determines if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when they are screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
