  • The physical effects include increased body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure; sleeplessness, and loss of appetite.

Circle - Criminal Justice Clients

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