Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these individuals the treatment they need, there are some steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol treatment program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Slate Spring, Mississippi criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is required. Furthermore, when the client is screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
