Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. 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 drug or alcohol rehab program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Augusta, Illinois criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is required. Additionally, when they are screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
