Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug treatment facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Swanquarter, North Carolina criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when they are evaluated 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 treatment plan.
