TRACK D

Revised February 2020

Name: ________________________________ Date: _________

Mission Statement

The mission of the DITT program is to provide a collaborative approach to

substance abuse treatment and probation supervision, while promoting public

safety, individual responsibility, reduced recidivism, and improvement in the

lives of participants.

Incentives & Sanctions

The DITT uses incentives and sanctions to respond to client behavior. Incentives

will be given in recognition of compliance and progress in treatment. Sanctions

will be imposed upon those found to be noncompliant or in violation of program

rules. These responses will be implemented as soon as possible in an effort to

maximize their impact. Sanctions will be graduated, meaning that repeated

infractions will result in more significant responses from the team. Participants

are required to appear for Monthly DITT Review with the DITT Judge and DITT

Non-Compliance Reviews when in violation of program rules. Participants will be

notified by their team, regarding the date/time of their required DITT review.

Sanctions can be imposed by your Probation Officer, the DITT Coordinator, or in

some instances the Court. Clients not in agreement with a sanction imposed by

their team can consult with legal counsel and petition the Court at any time.

Some incentives used by the team include:

• Praise from the treatment team

• Gift cards

• Movie tickets or activity passes

• Promotion to the next phase

• Permission to travel

Possible sanctions that can be imposed by the team include:

• Essays or writing assignments

• Community Service

Possible sanctions that can be imposed by the Court include:

• Workenders, Work Crew or Work Release

• Straight jail time

Revised February 2020

Drug Screens

Since helping clients achieve and maintain sobriety is one of the main goals of the

DITT program, participants will be tested frequently for drug and alcohol use.

Drug testing is generally done using urine screens. However, other means of

monitoring sobriety may also be used, including saliva samples, breathalyzers,

and SCRAM. Urine screens will be observed to ensure results are valid.

Participants are responsible for the costs of testing, unless other arrangements

have been made with your Probation Officer.

Positive, missed, dilute, altered or refused screens will be considered positive and

subject to sanction. If for some reason you miss a drug screen, you should

inform your Probation Officer immediately and submit as soon as possible.

NOTE: Urine specimens with creatinine levels below 20 mg/dl or above

400mg/dl will be considered invalid and subject to sanction.

You are ultimately responsible for ensuring the screens you provide are valid.

You should be aware that prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications,

herbal remedies, and dietary or energy supplements can affect your test results.

As such, it is strongly advised you learn how the ingredients of a given medicine

or supplement might impact results before you start taking them.

Prescription Drug Use

All participants will be expected to inform their health care providers of their

participation in an intensive treatment program so that informed decisions can

be made when prescription medications are being considered. In the event that

prescription medications are deemed necessary, participants should make every

effort to obtain a non-narcotic alternative, if one is available. Should you be

placed on a prescription medication, you must notify your Probation Officer

within 24 hours. Failure to do so will result in a sanction.

NOTE: In an effort to ensure full disclosure, participants are required to provide

their health care provider with the DITT Doctor’s Notice when attending medical

or dental appointments, provided by the Probation Officer. This form contains

the Probation Officer’s contact information and requires the doctor’s signature.

Participants with a history of abusing prescription drugs, or who have been

prescribed potentially habit-forming medications, may be subject to additional

requirements. These may include:

• Being restricted to one prescribing physician

• Agreeing to work with your physician to discontinue use of a potentially

habit-forming medication

• Authorizing the release of medical information from any new providers

Revised February 2020

NOTE: Marijuana use of any kind is strictly prohibited by DITT participants.

“Designer” Drug Use

The possession or consumption of any “designer” drugs such as “Spice,” “bath

salts,” “Kratom,” etc., whether purchased legally or illegally, is strictly prohibited

and subject to sanction. Such substances are often sold or marketed under false

pretenses and labeled “Not for Human Consumption,” though they are purchased

for the purpose of getting a “high.”

Program Phases

There are five phases to the DITT program. While the program can be

completed in as few as 13 months, successful completion typically takes a bit

longer. Each phase must be successfully completed before you can advance to the

next phase. DITT participants are required to appear for a DITT review when

advancing to the next phase of the DITT program.

The phase lengths below represent the minimum amount of time required

before advancing to the next phase. Advancement is not “automatic,” and is

contingent on several factors including stability, attendance and participation in

treatment, drug screen results, progress in recovery, and other relevant factors.

Decisions regarding advancement will be made collaboratively by the team

members.

Occasionally, clients have unique circumstances that call for special

consideration regarding program expectations. Such situations will be

considered on a case-by-case basis. Any modifications to phase or treatment

requirements must be approved by the treatment team.

terminate your probation, place you on unsupervised probation or keep you on

Revised February 2020

active supervision. These decisions will be made on an individual, case-by-case

basis. It is important to note that the better you do throughout the program, the

more likely you will be considered for early termination or unsupervised

probation. In order to terminate probation early, the Court is required to find

that you have successfully completed your treatment program, complied with the

Terms and Conditions of your probation, and early termination of your probation

would not endanger public safety.

Termination from the Program

Participants may be terminated from the program for a variety of reasons,

including:

• Committing a new crime that has been identified as a disqualifying offense

• Violating one or more Terms and Conditions of Probation

• Frequent or ongoing use of substances

• Continuing to provide positive drug screens

• Noncompliance with treatment

• Absconding from probation supervision

Dismissal from the DITT program is at the discretion of the team. Upon

termination, the participant’s case will likely return to regular criminal court.
