Drug or alcohol treatment 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 some specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehabilitation center. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Bluefield, West Virginia 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 they are screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened 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 the rehabilitation plan.
