Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these individuals the treatment they need, there are some specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehab center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Highlands, New Jersey 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 necessary. 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 concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the treatment plan.
