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