Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few 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 during their time in the Walford, Iowa criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is needed. Additionally, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
