Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are some 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 rehab while involved in the Falconer, New York 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 evaluated 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 treatment plan.
