Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol treatment program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the St. Bernard, Louisiana criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is required. Additionally, when the client is screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
