Drug treatment 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 need to be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehabilitation center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug treatment while involved in the Litchfield, Connecticut criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated 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 screened for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
