Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to provide these clients the treatment they need, there are a few specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug treatment program. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment during their time in the Cave Creek, Arizona 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 necessary. Additionally, when they are screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
