Instead of jail time, offenders are assigned to complete a rehabilitation program. Participants: 1) are placed on supervised, intensive probation (with regular meetings with a probation officer and home visits); 2) must submit to drug testing and complete drug treatment, and 3) must complete their community service hours.
