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 some specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Riverton, Connecticut criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is required. Additionally, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
