Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehabilitation program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Northwoods, Missouri criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated 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. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
