Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are some steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Lakeshore, Mississippi criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is necessary. Additionally, when the client is evaluated for drug addiction 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 factors in the creation of the treatment plan.
