Drug 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 steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehab facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the East Otis, Massachusetts criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is needed. Additionally, when the client is screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
