Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024

(a) A participant who violates the conditions of his DOTP, other than by testing positive for the use of alcohol or other drugs or by committing a violation of the Department's disciplinary rules, may be suspended from participation in a DOTP.

(b) The Department's goal in determining whether to suspend a participant from a DOTP will be to take the action it believes will maximize the efficient and effective use of programming resources by continuing to treat those participants it believes will most likely complete and benefit from a DOTP by becoming productive, law-abiding members of society if permitted to participate in continued treatment after a period of suspension.

(c) The Chief of the Department's Central Office Treatment Division or a designee will be responsible for determining whether to suspend a participant from a DOTP. The determination whether to suspend a participant from a DOTP may be based upon any information deemed appropriate by the Chief of the Department's Central Office Treatment Division or a designee.

(d) A participant who is suspended from participation in a DOTP will be housed in the setting deemed appropriate by the Chief of the Department's Central Office Treatment Division or a designee and shall comply with the Department's rules and any conditions imposed during the period of suspension. The Chief of the Department's Central Office Treatment Division or a designee will determine the participant's program status upon completion of the suspension.
