Taopi - Criminal Justice Clients

Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Taopi, Minnesota criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when they are evaluated 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 a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
