MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT
Medication assisted treatment therapies such as naltrexone (oral or VIVITROL), methadone and buprenorphine therapies are allowed in Veterans Court with the knowledge and approval of the Veterans Court team. The Veterans Court Team monitors compliance with MAT.
VETERAN COURT DRUG TESTING
Winnebago County Probation maintains a random testing system for Veterans Court Participant alcohol and drug testing. You will be assigned a client number, given a phone number and you are required to call in each day to check to see if you are selected to drop that day. You may also use My Call In website. If you are selected to drop, you MUST provide a drop THAT DAY as directed. Failure to complete a drop on the day you were chosen may result in a sanction. If you are selected to drop Monday through Friday, you must report to the Adult Probation Department and if you are selected to drop on Saturday or Sunday you must report to the Criminal Justice Center to provide the sample. Drug testing on Court Holidays will be done at the Criminal Justice Center. Drops can be required at TASC, probation offices or at treatment provider's location. The Collector requires an ID to do a drop, and if you don't have an ID, you must report that to your probation officer immediately in order to obtain a Drug Court ID. Drops will NOT be excused for lack of an ID or inability to provide a sample. And please be aware that you can be chosen to drop multiple days in a row!!
Positive drug/alcohol screen results, missing a drop, diluting, altering or attempting to adulterate a drop, or any type of tampering (e.g. bringing in someone else's urine) are violations of Veterans Court and will be treated with a sanction and possibly a treatment adjustment. Veterans Court is confident in the accuracy of its drug testing methodologies and presumes that a positive drop is objective evidence of drug use. Honesty on your part is essential and required when confronted with a positive result so that the Veterans Court Team can determine what responses may be necessary. For this reason, you should expect that a lack of honesty on your part WILL be treated with a Veterans Court sanction as your success in the program is directly tied to your honest participation.
VETERANS COURT PROGRAM LENGTH
On a case-by-case basis, and subject to the discretion and approval of the Veterans Court Team, a participant who meets all of the criteria for graduation from the program may be eligible for early termination from the program and/or probation prior to the end of his/her term of probation. This incentive is directly related to an individual's progress toward completion of treatment goals and full compliance with Veterans Court rules and probation requirements. No one, including you, is promised an early termination from the program or probation and that should not be your expectation.
VETERANS COURT PROGRAM RULES
You must appear in court as scheduled or as directed by the Veterans Court team.
