Drug Court

Drug Court is a specialist Court that assists those suffering from dependency of drugs and/or alcohol treatment and have exhausted all sentencing options other than imprisonment.

The Drug Court places you on a Drug Treatment Order to aid in your rehabilitation. To be eligible for a Drug Treatment Order, you must:

Have a substance abuse issue;

Reside or have committed majority of the of the offences within the Court’s catchment area; and

be sentenced to a significant term of imprisonment

You may be ineligible for a Drug Treatment Order if you:

do not reside within the catchment area;

commit an offence of a violent or sexual nature;

have matters that are to be heard and determined in a higher court;

You can be sentenced to a short term of imprisonment and a Community Corrections Order, it all depends on the circumstances of the offence, as well as your own personal circumstances.

Upon being found suitable to engage in a Drug Treatment Order, the accused is placed on a Drug Treatment Order.

There are intense requirements and strict rules that apply to participation in the Drug Treatment Order. Such requirements involve weekly appointments and testing for substance abuse as well as weekly attendance at Court for judicial monitoring.

Non-compliance or further offending whilst on a Drug Treatment Order can result in the cancellation of the Order.

What am I most likely going to be sentenced with?

This depends on several factors. Firstly, the nature of the allegation. Secondly, whether you have been to court previously. Finally, if you have any criminal history. These factors will be considered by the Court in their sentencing.

Will I get a Conviction or a Non-Conviction?

The Court will look at the seriousness of the offending, whether or not it is going to affect you in the workplace or with social standing and whether you have any prior criminal history. These factors will be considered by the Court in the sentencing.

Question 3

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
