Just as positive behaviors are rewarded, negative behaviors will also be addressed. If you are dishonest with the Veterans Court Team, including treatment providers, you should expect that you will receive a sanction because honesty is essential to making progress in Veterans Court and being successful. Poor attendance, lack of participation in treatment or tasks identified in the treatment plan, and positive drug screens are also some of the reasons sanctions may be imposed. Sanctions can consist of but will not be limited to the following:

THERAPEUTIC ADJUSTMENTS-The Veterans Court Team is closely monitoring your compliance with treatment and the progress you are making. The time you spend in groups and individual sessions is needed to make the positive changes in thinking, behaviors and lifestyle that support recovery.

If concerns arise, such as a positive or adulterated drop result, or you start to miss appointments with your Probation Officer or are missing or inappropriate in treatment groups, the Veterans Court Team will make any changes to your treatment plan that are needed to address the concerns and you will be required to follow the new or additional requirements. You may also be asked to verify participation in community recovery support activities as a therapeutic adjustment.

You will complete the program in one of four ways: successful discharge; neutral discharge; unsuccessful discharge; or voluntary withdrawal. Each participant who is exiting the Veterans Court program will receive a discharge plan.
