Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. 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 drug treatment facility. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the North Hudson, New York criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who makes the decision if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is required. Additionally, when the client is evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
