Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehab program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Lexington, Massachusetts criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is required. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the treatment plan.
