Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these clients the treatment they need, there are some steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehab program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the University Heights, Iowa 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. Additionally, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
