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 a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol treatment program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Storm Lake, Iowa criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who determines if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when the client is evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
