Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these individuals the treatment they need, there are a few steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehab center. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation during their time in the Shrewsbury, New Jersey criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is necessary. Additionally, when the client is screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems 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 a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
