Statutory conditions of program

8A Statutory conditions of program

(1) It is a condition of a drug offender's program that the Drug Court may, with the consent of the drug offender, commit the drug offender to a correctional centre for up to 21 days at a time if, in the opinion of the Drug Court, such action is necessary to facilitate:
(a) detoxification of the drug offender, or
(b) assessment of the drug offender's participation in the program, or
(c) the development of a suitable treatment plan.
(2) However, a drug offender is not to be committed to a correctional centre for detoxification unless the Drug Court is satisfied that no other suitable facilities are immediately available.
(3) A consent referred to in subsection (1) that is given by a drug offender in relation to the committal of the drug offender to a correctional centre for a particular period of time is irrevocable during that period.
(4) A drug offender does not fail to comply with his or her program merely because the drug offender fails to give a consent referred to in subsection (1).
