Drug rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these individuals the treatment they need, there are some steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Bridgewater, Connecticut criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment 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. Their drug addiction problem, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
