Townsville - Criminal Justice Clients

Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these clients the treatment they need, there are some specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehabilitation program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Townsville, North Carolina criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is necessary. 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 factors in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
