Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these individuals the treatment they need, there are some specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug treatment center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Sherman, Connecticut criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of the treatment plan.
