Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to provide these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Wheeler, Mississippi 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 necessary. Additionally, when they are screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues 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 the treatment plan.
