Drug rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the treatment they need, there are a few specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation center. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Thida, Arkansas criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who determines if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when the client is screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
