Drug treatment 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 steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehab program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Sandy Springs, South Carolina criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for drug addiction 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 treatment plan.
