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 treatment they need, there are some specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Barre, Massachusetts criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when they are screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
