Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these individuals the treatment they need, there are a few specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehab facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Big Creek, Mississippi criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is necessary. Additionally, when the client is evaluated for substance abuse 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 a criminal justice treatment plan.
