Criminal Justice Clients - Ostrander

Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. 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 rehab facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab while involved in the Ostrander, Minnesota 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 evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
