Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these clients the treatment they need, there are some specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehabilitation facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the New Milford, Connecticut 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. Furthermore, when they are screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated 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 treatment plan.
