Criminal Justice Clients - Peaks Island

Drug treatment 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 specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Peaks Island, Maine criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the treatment plan.
