Section 10A:16-14.2 - Drug Diversion Program

(a) Inmates found guilty of Category F infractions at N.J.A.C. 10A:4-4.1(a)6 will be offered the opportunity to participate in a one-time only Drug Diversion Program (See N.J.A.C. 10A:4-5.1(n)). The program is a 60-day intervention pathway for drug rehabilitation and related behavioral modification. It is offered as a less punitive alternative to the sanctions found at N.J. A.C. 10A:4-5.1(g) with the intention of enrollment in a clinical Drug Diversion Program. During the 60-day interventional pathway:

1. The Department substance use disorder and addiction services staff and the healthcare provider will assess the inmate and develop an individualized treatment plan for each inmate referred by the Disciplinary Hearing Officer (see N.J.A.C. 10A:4-5.1(n));

2. Inmates shall comply with all components of the prescribed treatment plan;

3. Inmate noncompliance with all components of the prescribed treatment plan shall result in removal from the Drug Diversion Program and referral to the Disciplinary Hearing Officer at the correctional facility in which the infraction was committed (see N.J.A.C. 10A:4-5.1(n)); and

4. Upon completion of the Drug Diversion Program, a report will be forwarded to the facility in which the infraction was committed and taken into consideration by the Disciplinary Hearing Officer or Adjustment Committee for disposition of the originally imposed sanctions.

(b) Inmates may, at any time, request treatment for substance use disorder on a voluntary basis.
