Drug rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to provide these clients the treatment they need, there are a few 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 rehab while involved in the Fairfax, Iowa criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of treatment 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 issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
