Drug rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are some specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Lorraine, New York criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who determines if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when the client is screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
