Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients 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 find out if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Findley Lake, New York criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who decides if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is required. Furthermore, when they are screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the treatment plan.
