Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehab program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab while involved in the Needham Heights, Massachusetts criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when they are evaluated 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 substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
