Guidelines for Court-Ordered Services

Education Programs are designed toteach skills that enable individualsto deal constructively and consistently with their issues. In order for a client to complete an educationprogram, the client must participate in the treatment program outlined by the service provider,followed by a positive recommendation from the educator. One-on-one sessions with a licensed counselor/therapist are not required, nor is there a stipulation onhow many sessions it takes to completea class.That decision is left with theservice provider.

Counseling is a combination of one-on-one and group sessions supervised by a licensed counselor/therapist for purpose of behavior modification. Court-ordered counseling requires at least two (2) hours per week of contact with the counselor/therapist for a minimum of six (6) months, followed by a positive recommendation from the counselor/therapist. Multiple orders for counseling may require attendance for more than two hours per week of individual and group counseling to complete all the programs. Receiving services from a nonapproved provider can be interpreted as noncompliance and may not meet the court’s requirement.

Substance abuse treatment requires a combination of oneonone and group sessions supervised by a counselor/therapist for the purpose of behavior modification. In order for a client to complete a counseling program to address the issues of substance abuse, the client must participate in a certified treatment program, including initial assessment by, and weekly contact with, an Alcohol and Drug Program (ADP) certified counselor for a minimum of six (6) months AND thereafter, a relapse prevention/support program, at least weekly, for a minimum of two (2) months, followed by a positive recommendation from the counselor. Documentation of weekly attendance is submitted to the social worker on a monthly basis identifying the client’s level of treatment. Parent(s) must complete the treatment plan, including aftercare, whether or not children have been returned to the home. Receiving services from a nonapproved provider can be interpreted as noncompliance and may not meet the court’s requirement. (Revised 1/27/09)
