Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these clients the treatment they need, there are a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehab facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Watersmeet, Michigan criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is required. Additionally, when they are screened 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 substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
