Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few 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 rehab while involved in the Riegelwood, North Carolina 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. Additionally, when they are 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 treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
