Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. 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 or alcohol rehabilitation facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Hopedale, Illinois 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 necessary. Furthermore, when the client is screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
