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 a few steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol treatment facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab while involved in the Souris, North Dakota criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is needed. Additionally, when the client is evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
