Section 12.08.01.14 - Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Users

A. All inmates who, in the discretion of the Commission, may benefit by special treatment by virtue of their addiction to or use of narcotic or dangerous drugs may be paroled with the special condition that they actively participate in approved treatment programs.

B. Methadone Maintenance Programs. A presumably drug-free inmate will not be paroled with the special condition of methadone treatment unless he is evaluated and a report is submitted to the commission by a qualified physician that, not withstanding the inmate's drug-free status, a methadone maintenance program would be best suited to the treatment needs of the inmate.

C. Civil Commitment--Drug Abuse Administration. Any inmate who deems himself a drug addict shall, with the approval of the Commission, be eligible for civil commitment to an in-patient treatment facility under the auspices of the Drug Abuse Administration, providing he has no other criminal charges pending and the conviction is for a crime not punishable by more than 10 years imprisonment (larceny excepted).
