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 rehab facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Lakeside, Connecticut 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 the client is screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
