Lauderdale - Criminal Justice ClientsDrug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these clients the treatment they need, there are some specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehab program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Lauderdale, Mississippi criminal justice system.
