Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. 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 recovery rehabilitation facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Amherst, Ohio 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 needed. Furthermore, when they are screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
