Drug or alcohol treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to provide these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are a few steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehab center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Rome, Georgia criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is necessary. Furthermore, when the client is screened for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health issues as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining variables in the creation of the rehabilitation plan.
