Drug 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 should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehab facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Palo, Iowa criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when the client is evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
