Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are some steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug treatment center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Quinebaug, Connecticut 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 required. Furthermore, when the client is evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
