Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol treatment facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Higdon, Alabama criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is required. Furthermore, when the client is screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
