GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Drug or alcohol rehabilitation 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 rehab facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Central, Alaska criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is necessary. Additionally, when they are evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
