Drug rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these clients the treatment they need, there are some specific steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehabilitation facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Independence, Iowa criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is needed. Additionally, when the client is evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
