Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to provide these individuals the treatment they need, there are a few specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehab program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Rena Lara, Mississippi criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is necessary. Additionally, 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 substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
