Incentives and Interventions

Critical to the success of drug court participants are prompt incentives
that encourage and reward their compliance with drug court requirements
and progress in recovery and prompt interventions that discourage and
interrupt their non-compliance and failure. The team will determine in
weekly staffings, on a more probable than not basis, whether
participants are in compliance or non-compliance. The team will
determine, from all information available to or obtained by it, what are
appropriate incentives or interventions based upon consideration of the
nature and degree of the participant's compliance or non-compliance, the
status of the participant's recovery, the participant's history of
compliance and recovery and what will most reasonably and effectively
promote the participant's recovery and success in completing drug court
requirements.

Upon acceptance into drug court, participants, by execution of a
participation agreement, will waive of any right to a hearing before the
court to determine compliance or non-compliance or appropriate
incentives or interventions, except that, in the event the court
determines that non-compliance requires an intervention that includes
in-patient treatment, community service, work crew, electronic
monitoring, house arrest or incarceration, a participant may, upon being
advised of such an intervention, request a hearing before the court.
Upon such a request, a hearing will be held, whenever practicable, at
the time the request is made, and in any event within 48 hours of the
request. If a request for hearing is made, the court may consider
whether conditions for the participant's release pending hearing should
be imposed in accordance with CrR 3.2.

## Incentives

The drug court will utilize a continuum of incentives, tailored to
appropriately recognize and encourage each participant's accomplishments
and successes, ranging from congratulation and praise in court to
tangible rewards (e.g. gift certificates, event passes) to the ultimate
reward of graduation from drug court and dismissal of the pending
charge(s).

Recognition by the court/judge

Reduction in specific requirements

Sobriety tokens

## Interventions

The drug court will utilize the following continuum of interventions,
ranging from the least severe (e.g. admonitions in court) to the most
severe (e.g. incarceration), selected to specifically discourage and
deter non-compliance with drug court requirements and to aid and
reinforce treatment and services necessary for recovery.

Interventions may include, but are not limited to:

Admonishment during court sessions
