Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to provide these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are a few steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Oakdale, Pennsylvania criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when the client is screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
