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 a few steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Alamo, Tennessee criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who determines if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is required. 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 issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
