Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are some specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab while involved in the Sherard, Mississippi 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 needed. Furthermore, when the client is screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
