Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are some steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehab facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Waveland, Mississippi criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is needed. Additionally, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
