Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. 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 rehab facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Southbridge Town, Massachusetts criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who decides if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when they are 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 treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of the treatment plan.
