Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these clients the treatment they need, there are some specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug treatment program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Ethridge, Tennessee 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 necessary. 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 issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of the treatment plan.
