Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to provide these clients 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 find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Bristol, Connecticut criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when they are screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems 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 the rehabilitation plan.
