Drug rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery treatment center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Atalissa, Iowa 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 necessary. Furthermore, when they are screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of the treatment plan.
