Family drug court program eligibility

Official statutory text

A. The family drug court judge shall conduct a hearing to

determine final eligibility of the family for the family drug court

program by considering:

1. Whether the child or children and family are appropriate for

placement in drug court, as provided in Section 8 of this act;

2. The findings and recommendations of the family drug court

assessment;

3. Whether there is an appropriate treatment program available

to the family and whether there is a recommended family drug court

treatment plan; and

4. Any information relevant to determining eligibility. A

family shall not be denied admittance to any family drug court

program based upon the inability of the family to pay court costs or

other costs or fees.

B. The judge shall require the family to demonstrate support

for participation in the program. In order for the family to be

admitted to the program, every person responsible for the health or

welfare of the child or children and any adult who establishes a

permanent residence in the home where the child or children reside

after the child or children have been admitted to the program shall

submit to the personal jurisdiction of the court upon being properly

served pursuant to Section 1-4-304 of Title 10A of the Oklahoma

Statutes or by personally appearing in court. Failure of an adult

responsible for the health or welfare of the child or children, or

an adult who resides in the home with the child or children, to

submit to the personal jurisdiction of the court shall result in

either the family's dismissal from the drug court program, contempt

of court proceedings for the adult, removal of the child or children

from the home, or any combination thereof.

C. When the court accepts the family drug court treatment plan,

the child or children and family shall be ordered immediately into

the program and the person responsible for the health or welfare of

the child or children and any adult who resides in the home of the

child or children shall have voluntarily signed the necessary court

documents before the child or children and family may be admitted to

treatment. The court documents shall include:

1. A written family drug court treatment plan, which is subject

to modification at any time during the program, as set forth in

Section 8 of this act;

2. A statement requiring the child or children and family to

enter the treatment program as directed by the court and to

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 10A. Children and Juvenile Code Page 133

participate until completion, withdrawal, or removal by the court;

and

3. A statement signed voluntarily by the person or persons

responsible for the health or welfare of the child or children and

any adult who resides in the home with the child or children that

such person or persons shall comply with the orders of the court and

any conditions of the treatment program and supervising staff for as

long as the family participates in the family drug court program.

D. If admission into the family drug court program is denied,

the case shall be returned to the traditional juvenile docket and

shall proceed as provided for any other juvenile case.

E. At the time a child or children and family is admitted to

the family drug court program, any bond, bail or undertaking on

behalf of the child or children or family shall be exonerated.

F. 1. A family shall actively participate in treatment for a

period of not less than six (6) months while participating in the

family drug court program.

2. All participating treatment providers shall be certified by

the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.

Treatment programs shall be designed to be completed within twelve

(12) months and shall have relapse prevention and evaluation

components.
