1 Pierce County Veterans Treatment Court Participant Handbook Veterans Treatment Court Team: Participant Handbook V1 January 12, 2012 Veterans Treatment Court Judge: Joseph D. Boles Assistant District Attorney: William Thorie Sheriffs Department: Lieutenant Mike Knoll Sheriffs Department: Jeremy Brookshaw County Veteran Service Officer: David Till Public Defender: Liesl Nelson Department of Corrections: Mark Lemke Court Commissioner: Julia R. Gehring Veterans Treatment Court Coordinator: Donna Swenson Department of Workforce Development: David Tesch Pierce County Veterans Mentor Program Coordinator: Jim Ottman and Walter Sorenson Department of Veterans Affairs (VA): VA Justice Outreach Team Supervisor: Bob Dadar Clinical Social Worker Mental Health/Homeless Programs: Elizabeth Franki Rezek Clinical Social Worker Mental and Behavioral Health: Faith Weiss Veterans Justice Outreach Mental Health/Homeless Programs: David Holewinski Veterans Benefit Administration: Denna Linder Mission Statement: It is the mission of the Pierce County Veterans Treatment Court to promote public safety by integrating, assisting and supporting veterans through a collaborative and coordinated response to include the Veterans service delivery system, community based services, and court supervised treatment and accountability through a system of sanctions and incentives. Key Components The Pierce County Veterans Court has adopted, with slight modifications, the essential tenets of the ten key components as described in the U.S. Department of Justice Publication entitled Defining Drug Courts: The Key Components. Although there are differences between drug courts, behavioral health courts, and veterans courts, the Key Components provide the foundation for the essential elements of each of these courts. The Veterans Court is a hybrid of substance abuse and behavioral health treatment courts, with the goal of servicing veterans with addiction, serious behavioral health issues, and co-occurring disorders.
2 One: The Veterans Court integrates alcohol and drug treatment and behavioral health services with justice system case processing. Two: Using a non-adversarial approach, prosecution and defense counsel promote public safety while protecting participants due process rights. Three: Eligible participants are identified early and promptly placed in the Veterans Court program. Four: The Veterans Court provides access to a continuum of alcohol, drug, behavioral health and other related treatment and rehabilitation services. Five: Abstinence is monitored by frequent alcohol and other drug testing. Six: A coordinated strategy governs the Veterans Court responses to participants compliance. Seven: Ongoing judicial interaction with each veteran is essential. Eight: Monitoring and evaluation measures the achievement of program goals and gauges effectiveness. Nine: Continuing interdisciplinary education promotes effective planning, implementation and operation. Ten: Forging partnerships among the Veterans Court, the VA, public agencies, and communitybased organizations generates local support and enhances the Veterans Court s effectiveness. Ethics and Confidentiality Any program that specializes, in whole or in part, in providing treatment, counseling, assessment, and referral services for participants with alcohol and/or substance problems must comply with the Federal confidentiality regulations (42 C.F.S. 2.12(e)). The federal regulations apply to programs that receive federal funding, and federal law prevails if there is a conflict with state laws. There are two federal laws and a set of regulations that guarantee program participants will enjoy strict confidentiality of information about them when receiving alcohol and/or substance assessment and treatment services. See, 42 U.S.C. 290dd-3 and ee-3 and 42 C.F.R. Part 2. Confidentiality of program participants is governed by 42 U.S.C. 290dd, which encourages treatment and is applicable to most problem solving or specialty court programs. If the court orders screening, assessments, referrals, treatment, and/or diagnosis for a program participant, 290dd will be applicable. Information that is protected by federal confidentiality regulations may always be disclosed after a program participant has signed a proper consent or waiver form. The regulations also permit disclosure without the program participant s consent in several situations, to include medical emergencies, program evaluations, and communications among program staff members. Veteran participants who refuse to sign consent or waiver forms permitting essential communications to occur can be excluded from treatment or provided treatment on a temporary basis in the hope that resistance to signing the consent or waiver forms will evaporate as treatment proceeds. Continue refusal to sign consent or waiver forms by the veteran participant will be a ground for termination from the specific treatment program and from the Veterans Court Program.
3 Veteran participants in the Veterans Court Program must be informed in writing of their privacy rights. Veteran participants must sign a Waiver of Medical Privilege upon entering into the Veterans Court Program, and then provided with a copy of that waiver. Information that is protected by Federal confidentiality regulations may only be disclosed after the veteran participant has signed a proper consent form. Said forms will also be signed by the Veterans Court Coordinator, the assigned probation or extended supervision officer, if any, and treatment providers so that pertinent information about the veteran participant may be shared with the Veterans Court Team and other named treatment providers.

The Veterans Court Team will make a recommendation to the Veterans Mentor Program as to suitability of the veteran participant to perform the duties of a Veterans Mentor. If the veteran participant remains on probation following graduation from the Veterans Court Program he or she will be ineligible to become a Veterans Mentor until that status is changed. Graduation Graduation Criteria: Participants must successfully complete the four phases of the Veterans Court Program and be in the program for the requisite minimum period of time to be eligible for graduation. Any exceptions to the requirements must be approved by the Veterans Court Team. Near the end of Phase Three, participants will complete a continuing care or stabilization plan which outlines a plan to maintain sobriety and comply with behavioral and/or medical health regimes after graduation from the Veterans Court Program. The plan must be approved by the Veterans Court Team prior to the participant advancing to Phase Four. In Phase Four, the participants will demonstrate compliance with the plan and readiness for graduation. Participants must be approved for graduation by the Veterans Court Team.
7 Termination Process: Termination Criteria: Non compliance with the Pierce County Veterans Treatment Court Policies and Procedure could justify termination from the program. Unsuccessful Completion: Termination from the Veterans Court Program generally occurs only after graduated sanctions have been imposed and the veteran participant continues to disregard the rules of the Veterans Court Program and the orders of the Veterans Court Judge. Examples of Disregard for Program Rules: The veteran participant has shown disregard for program rules when he or she has engaged in behaviors which may include, but is not limited to, the following: Absconding from any residential or inpatient treatment facility Failing to attend treatment or therapy Tampering with alcohol or substance tests Committing criminal acts Absconding from the Veterans Court Program Grounds for Termination: Termination proceedings may be initiated at any time for a veteran participant who violates program rules. Consistent failure to follow treatment protocol and/or other conditions established specifically to try to modify the veteran participant s behaviors will constitute appropriate grounds to initiate termination proceedings. Initial Termination Hearing: Any voting Veterans Court Team member may seek an initial termination hearing. The termination hearing shall be held before the voting members of the Veterans Court Team and the veteran participant will be provided notice of the hearing, the allegations upon which the proposed termination are based, and the opportunity to be represented by an attorney during the termination hearing. The termination hearing will be conducted outside the presence of the Veterans Court Judge and will not be recorded. After the veteran participant has been advised of the allegations and has presented his or her position on the allegations, the voting Veterans Court Team members will cast their votes to retain the veteran participant in the Veterans Court Program or to recommend to the Veterans Court Judge that the veteran participant should be terminated from the Veterans Court Program. If the vote, by simple majority, is to retain the veteran participant, the suggestion of termination will be concluded and the veteran participant will remain in the Veterans Court Program. If the vote, by simple majority, is to terminate the veteran participant, written notice will be provided to the veteran participant concerning this recommendation and the date upon which the recommendation for termination will be heard in open court and on the record before the Veterans Court Judge.

9 A trained peer mentor will be assigned to veterans identified by the police who are facing charges and are reluctant or resistive to meeting with the County Veterans Service Officer or the Veterans Service Officer of the veteran s home county, to begin the process of establishing VA benefits eligibility. Additionally, if the Veterans Service Officer determines that a particular veteran is in need of a Veterans Mentor, a referral will be made to have one assigned. The Veterans Mentor Program is a stand-alone entity, working outside the Veterans Court, to assure that veterans involved with the legal system are able to be evaluated for VA benefits at the earliest possible time so that work may begin on behavioral and/or mental health issues that may thereby reduce their risk to reoffend or continue to remain involved in the legal system. Once the veteran is firmly entrenched in VA and/or community based services to address their particular needs, it is anticipated that the Veterans Mentor will terminate the relationship that has been established. The Veterans Mentors will, however, act as a Duty Veterans Mentor for the Veterans Court to assist with veteran participants appearing during Veterans Court sessions. A review of the Policies and Procedures Manual for the Veterans Mentor Program will provide additional information of that organization, and how it interacts with veterans in the community in need of their specialized assistance. Chemical Testing Chemical testing includes testing for alcohol as well as all other controlled and mood altering substances. Testing methods may include: urine blood preliminary breath testing hair follicle saliva transdermal alcohol monitors sobrietor All testing will be based on individual profile of alcohol and drug use history. Testing will include random testing throughout the duration of the Veterans Court program. Frequency of testing will generally be reduced as participants advance through the phases but testing may be increased at the discretion of the Veterans Court Team. Testing on weekends will be performed by Pierce County Jail personnel. Testing during the week will be done by an independent contractor. Upon entry to the program participants will be assigned a testing number. Participants will be directed to call in daily to a voic system which will indicate whether they are required to test on any particular day. Participants will be given direction on where and when to test. In addition to the daily call in system for testing, participants may also be required to test with probation, treatment providers, law enforcement and the Veterans Court Coordinator.
10 All testing will be directly observed. Same sex personnel will observe urine collections. Participants must promptly comply with the testing procedure if directed to test. If a sample is not produced, is not of sufficient quantity, or is adulterated in any way, it will be treated as a positive sample and reported to the Veterans Court Team. If participants fail to appear to test on time or do not appear, it will treated as a positive test. Prior to delivering a test sample, the participant will be asked whether or not the test will be positive. If the participant acknowledges that a sample will be positive it will be considered a positive test and reported. If a participant indicates that a test will be negative, but the test is positive, the participant may be asked again about drug use. At the participant s request, a positive sample will be sent to the laboratory for confirmation testing. Lab costs for positive results will be charged to the participant. Lab costs for negative results will not be charged to the participant.
