United - 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 provide these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are some specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehab facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the United, Pennsylvania criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is necessary. Additionally, when the client is evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of the treatment plan.
