Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these individuals the treatment they need, there are a few steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Washington Depot, Connecticut criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems 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 a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
