Drug or alcohol 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 steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehabilitation program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Hubbardston, Massachusetts criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who determines if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is needed. Additionally, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of the treatment plan.
