If they comply with the conditions of their supervision, the restrictions are gradually reduced. In this way, offenders are accountable for their own behavior. The COP is administered by the Division of Parole and Probation. Offenders admitted to COP are required to remain in substance abuse treatment until the maximum benefit of addiction services is received. Intermediate sanctions are imposed on offenders who do not comply with the restrictions placed on their behavior.
Drug testing is used in combination with the community-based sanctions.
