Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Elk Run Heights, Iowa criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who determines if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when they are evaluated 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 treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
