Dosage can be adjusted to match the unique physical attributes of the individual in question. Administration of the medication is done by civic-minded local pharmacists who work closely with the project staff. These pharmacists personally observe the ingestion, sign the log of the offender, and keep a separate log to document and compare. Customary safeguards are taken to protect against false ingestion attempts. The defendant is mandated to contact a physician immediately, to receive an examination and a prescription for ReVia.
Ingestion is initiated and a log signed by the pharmacist or physician.
The defendant reports forthwith to Probation to be seen by specific probation officers to present proof of the prescription and ingestion to the probation officer. Reviews before the court occur every 7 weeks, or as directed by the probation officer. Probation officers conduct field searches, and are expected to arrest ReVia clients who are violating the protocol and presenting a danger to the public. After 24 weeks, the Court examines the status of the probationer to determine if the supervision level will be reduced. Community Partnership Butte County does not have the financial capability of supporting this project.
