Drug rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehabilitation center. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Walnut Cove, North Carolina criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is required. Furthermore, when the client is evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
