Criminal Justice Clients - Somerville

Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are some steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehab program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab while involved in the Somerville, Tennessee criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when the client is screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
