Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are some steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehab program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Sugar Tree, Tennessee 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 required. Furthermore, when they are screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
