Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to provide these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are some steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery treatment program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Graham, North Carolina criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when the client is screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
