GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are some specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Alakanuk, Alaska criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is needed. Additionally, when they are evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues 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 the treatment plan.
