Indian River County continues to experience a high level of . drug related activity. For several decades , drug use has shaped the criminal justice system . Drug and drug -related offenses are the most common crime in nearly every community. Drug offenders move through the criminal justice system in a predictable pattern : arrest , prosecution , conviction , incarceration , release . In a few days , weeks , or months , the same person may be picked up on a new charge and the process begins again . These actions do little to curtail the illicit use of drugs and alcohol especially among our youth . As offenders flood the criminal justice system , many are not identified as having problems . In response , a few forward-thinking and innovative jurisdictions began to re -examine the relationship between criminal justice processing and AOD treatment services . Several common sense improvements sprang up spontaneously throughout the Nation . It became increasingly apparent that treatment providers and criminal justice practitioners shared common goals : stopping the illicit use and abuse of all addictive substances and curtailing related criminal activity . Each system possessed unique capabilities and resources that could complement the other and enhance the effectiveness of both if combined in partnership . Thus , the concept of treatment- oriented drug court was born . Drug courts were first implemented in the late 1980 's , but they did not develop in a vacuum . They are an outgrowth of the continuing development of community-based team -oriented approaches that have their roots in innovative programs developed by pretrial , probation , and parole agencies , as well as treatment-based and law enforcement innovations such as community policing programs . It following this thought process that Indian River County has established a juvenile drug court.

Indian River County?s juvenile drug courts offer a compelling choice for juveniles whose criminal justice involvement stems from AOD use : participation in treatment. In exchange for successful completion of the treatment program , the court may dismiss the original charge , reduce or set aside a sentence , offer some lesser penalty, or offer a combination of these . Drug courts transform the roles of both criminal justice practitioners and AOD treatment providers . Indian River County? s Juvenile Drug Court and Juvenile Court creates an environment with clear and certain rules . The rules are definite , easy to understand , and most important, compliance is within the individual ?s control . The rules are based on the participant ? s performance and are measurable , ie the drug tests reveal drug use or abstinence . The participant? s performance is immediately and directly communicated to the judge , who rewards progress or penalizes noncompliance . The court programs should have the capacity to demonstrate tangible outcomes . Indian River County?s Court will have this ability to demonstrating reductions in AOD use via this drug testing program . Abstinence will be monitored by frequent alcohol and other drug testing . The purpose of this is frequent court-ordered AOD testing is essential . An accurate testing program is the most objective and efficient way to establish a framework for accountability and to gauge each participant's progress . Modern technology offers highly reliable testing to determine if an individual has recently used specific drugs . The Substance Abuse Council continues to utilize a Dade Behring ? V-Twin ? drug screening analyzer utilizing the EMIT® ( Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique) Technology Principal . It is commonly recognized that alcohol use frequently contributes to relapse among individuals whose primary drug of choice is not alcohol . AOD testing results are objective measures of treatment effectiveness , as well as a source of important information for periodic review of treatment progress . AOD testing helps shape the ongoing interaction between the court and each participant . Timely and accurate test results promote frankness and honesty among all parties . AOD testing is central to the court?s monitoring of participant compliance . It is a main objective of the program . It gives the participant immediate information about his or her own progress , making the participant active and involved in the treatment process rather than a passive recipient of services . Performance Objectives : The Indian River County Drug Testing Program proposes to provide IRC juveniles frequent drug testing according to the following standards . 1 . AOD testing policies and procedures are based on established and tested guidelines . 2 . Testing may be administered randomly or at scheduled intervals , but occurs no less than once a week during the first several months of an individual ?s enrollment . Application Ref # 2006-JAGC-221 Section #2 Page 3 of 4 Contract -JAGC- INRk - - Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement Justice Assistance Grant - County-wide Project Summary (Continued ) Frequency thereafter will vary depending on participant progress . 3 . The scope of testing is sufficiently broad to detect the participant? s primary drug of choice as well as other potential drugs of abuse , including alcohol . 4 . The drug-testing procedure will be certain . Elements contributing to the reliability and validity of a urinalysis testing process include , but are not limited to : ? Direct observation of urine sample collection ? Verification temperature and measurement of adulterants ie : creatinine levels , specific gravity, nitrite levels , PH , oxidants and chromate to determine the extent of water loading and other adulteration techniques ? Specific , detailed , written procedures regarding all aspects of urine sample collection , sample analysis , and result reporting ; ? A documented chain of custody for each sample collected ? Quality control and quality assurance procedures for ensuring the integrity of the process ? Procedures for verifying accuracy when drug test results are contested . 5 . Ideally, test results are available and communicated to the court and the participant within one day. The court functions best when it can to respond immediately to noncompliance ; the time between sample collection and availability of results should be short . 6 . The court is immediately notified when a participant has tested positive , has failed to submit to AOD testing , has submitted the sample of another, or has adulterated a sample . 8 . The coordinated strategy for responding to noncompliance includes prompt responses to positive tests , missed tests , and fraudulent tests . "The Indian River County Drug testing program will only test youth referred by either juvenile drug court or juvenile court. These youth will be on probation from either juvenile drug court or juvenile court.
