Criminal Justice Clients - Turtle Lake

Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. 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 recovery treatment program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Turtle Lake, North Dakota criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when the client is evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of the treatment plan.
