Misdemeanor drug offenders (felonies by discretion) and those who have drug charges due to issues with addiction may be afforded an opportunity to participate in the Drug Diversion Program in order to resolve a drug charge that may otherwise result in a conviction, loss of driver’s license, and a prison sentence or probation.
A client graduates from the program after meeting all required criteria, including attendance and participation, completion of goals, consecutive negative urinalysis reports, and avoidance of all criminal activity.
Individuals must be 18 years old or older, and eligibility is determined by the Attorney General’s Office and ordered by Superior Court. Following the individuals scheduled court date for entry into the program, BCCS employees complete the Drug Diversion intake, where the level of care is determined.
