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 rehabilitation they need, there are a few steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Rumson, New Jersey criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who determines if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is required. Additionally, when the client is screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the treatment plan.
