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 some specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol treatment center. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Guin, Alabama criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when they are screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened 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 a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
