Lyerly - Criminal Justice Clients

Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are some steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug treatment facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Lyerly, Georgia 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 necessary. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for substance abuse 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 rehabilitation plan.
