Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehab center. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab while involved in the Mathews, Louisiana 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. Additionally, when the client is evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also screened 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 factors in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
