Criminal Justice Clients - Fort Atkinson

Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to provide these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are some specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehab program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Fort Atkinson, Iowa 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 required. Furthermore, when the client is evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
