Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are some specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery treatment program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Van Buren Point, New York 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 substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the treatment plan.
