Administrative Procedures, AP XIII, Sec. 13
AP XIII, Sec. 13 Suspended status
(1) In the event a situation arises in which it becomes impracticable for a participant to meet drug court requirements and/or be supervised by Specialty Courts staff, the drug court judge shall issue an order placing the defendant on suspended status and releasing Specialty Courts staff from supervision responsibilities. Examples of impracticability may include but are not limited to, contagious or infectious disease, short-term medical care for a family member, or any other reason that would cause a temporary inability to meet drug court requirements or to be supervised by Specialty Courts staff. Once the defendant has the ability to resume participation in the drug court program and be supervised by Specialty Courts staff, the drug court judge shall enter an order resuming active status and returning the participant to drug court supervision.
(2) During the time in which the participant is suspended, no credit shall be earned toward the completion of the drug court phases.
(3) In the event that the suspended status is the result of the participant receiving in-patient rehabilitation in a facility approved by the drug court and the participant successfully completes rehabilitation, after the participant has resumed standard drug court participation for thirty (30) days, it shall be at the discretion of the drug court judge to determine whether any credit should be given toward the completion of a drug court phase(s) for the time spent in the approved rehabilitation program.
