Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these clients the treatment they need, there are a few specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
