Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these individuals the treatment they need, there are a few steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol treatment program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Montpelier, Mississippi 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 needed. Additionally, when they are screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
