Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the treatment they need, there are a few steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug treatment program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Elk Horn, Iowa criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated 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 needed. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
