Drug rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the treatment they need, there are a few steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol treatment center. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the South Britain, Connecticut criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is required. Furthermore, when the client is screened for substance abuse 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 variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
