Fees and Restitution

PROGRAM FEES

Participants will be charged a monthly program fee of $40.00. The monthly charge begins to accrue the first full month after admission. The Drug Court participant has the entire month with which to payoff that current months charges. Fees are expected to be paid on time to the Clerk of the District, 3rd floor, Hall of Justice at the cashier’s window. Make sure to ask for a receipt, and check it over making sure it shows the accurate docket and page number, name, and amount paid. Give your payment receipt to your Drug Court Counselor and they will follow through in adding the payment to the Drug Court computer system.

Each time a payment is made at the Clerk’s Office, a Drug Court payment slip must accompany each payment. Payment slips can be obtained at the Drug Court Office and/or from your Drug Court Counselor.

DRUG SCREENING FEES

Participants will also be charged a fee of $10.00 for each positive urinalysis. Participants are expected to stop the use of all mood-altering chemicals, to include but not limited to alcohol; illegal drugs and non-approved prescription medication. Failure to stop the use of these chemicals or having remnants of these chemicals in one's body, at the point of Drug Court Intake, will result in a $10.00 charge. This same $10.00 charge will also be assessed if the urine specimen supplied is determined to be diluted or tampered with in any way, to include but not limited to leakage in transit or faulty threaded lid. 

Participants who fail to show for random drug screening appointments will also be subject to a $10.00 charge.

RESTITUTION

Clients with restitution issues are generally not admitted into either track of the Adult Drug Court. If by chance the restitution issue has been overlooked at the point of admission the Adult Drug Court is not assuming responsibility in the collection of, or the repayment of anything owed the victim.
