Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these clients the treatment they need, there are a few specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Prairie, Mississippi criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is necessary. Additionally, 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 treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
