Drug rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the treatment they need, there are some steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery treatment facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Venice, Louisiana 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 necessary. Additionally, when they are screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
