Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Leighton, Alabama criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is necessary. Additionally, when the client is screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
