Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are some specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery treatment facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab while involved in the Mechanicsville, Iowa criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who determines if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is required. Furthermore, when the client is evaluated for substance abuse 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 substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
