Athens - Criminal Justice Clients

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