In our small community it is kind of known that he was never into any drugs just alcohol. My question is would you be comfortable just giving the participant the intoxilyzer test and not drug screens?

Surprising to us... we actually catch some. We don't have the luxury of using an intoxilyzer when we want to (it is under the control of the Department of Public Safety - Tribal Police). Depending on your funding and the limitations... we have used the SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring) ankle monitors a little. There are also a variety portable breathalyzer machines. And even have seen little tubes that suspects (clients) can blow into as instructed and see a result of pass or fail. Lots of stuff out there. Probably need to try out this or that and see what you like (and can afford). Daniel Mittan Director of Court Services Choctaw Tribal Court Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians P.O.

We use a quick test cup that screens for EtG in addition to 7 other drugs and we catch them often. We rarely have the expense of the lab as a training we attended with the toxicologist told us that if they are negative on the quick test, they'll be negative at the lab. So we just have the expense of the cups.

We have several participants who had used only alcohol in the past substitute illegal drugs (mostly cocaine it seems) because they thought we wouldn't catch that behavior. We generally use instant alcohol metabolite urine testing (80-hour lookbacks) rather than breath tests so we can know whether the participant had alcohol any time in the last 80 hours, rather than the last 12 hours or so.

In Wellness Court, the judge serves as the captain or the coach of the team, focused on healing and collaboration. This publication orients and serves the Wellness Court judge while on the bench. The first section provides examples of key component performance in relation to component principles. The second section overviews key Wellness Court processes and procedures. Both sections include Bench Cards intended to serve as tools that package relevant information in an abbreviated format.
