Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. 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 recovery rehabilitation program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Columbia, Illinois criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who decides if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is required. Additionally, when they are evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
