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 some steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehabilitation program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab while involved in the Atlantic, Iowa criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is required. Furthermore, when the client is screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of the treatment plan.
