Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these individuals the treatment they need, there are some 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 rehabilitation while involved in the Spencer, Indiana 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 required. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of the treatment plan.
