In order to provide these individuals the treatment they need, there are a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab while involved in the Clearwater, Minnesota criminal justice system.

Additionally, when they are screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
