Drug 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 specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the West Newton, Massachusetts criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who determines if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when they are screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
