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