Application I have been charged with violating drug paraphernalia laws or drug possession laws under section 21a-267, 21a-279, or 21a-279a of the Connecticut General Statutes, and apply for the Pretrial Drug Education and Community Service Program.

To begin the Drug Education Program within 90 days of the day that the court orders me into the program, unless the court gives me more time to start the program. I understand that the court will order an evaluation of me that will determine whether I have to go to 15 sessions of a drug education program or at least 15 sessions of a substance abuse treatment program. After finishing the program that the court orders me into, if the Court Support Services Division (CSSD) thinks I need more treatment, I agree to accept any additional treatment in a treatment program recommended by a Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) contractor, or the Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs or the United States Department of Veterans Affairs if I am a veteran and either of those organizations are treating me, or to go into another treatment program that has standards that are at least as high or higher than the DMHAS contractor's program. 3.

I understand that I must also pay for the costs of the substance abuse treatment program if I am ordered to take part in that program. If I cannot pay or am indigent, I will file with the court an affidavit telling the court why I cannot pay. I give my permission to CSSD to get information about my prior participation in the Pretrial Drug Education Program, the Pretrial Drug Education and Community Service Program, and the Community Service Labor Program in order to confirm that I am eligible for the Pretrial Drug Education and Community Service Program. If I file an affidavit of inability to pay or indigency, CSSD will look into whether I can pay, and the court may decide that I do not have to pay all or any part of the program fee if it finds that I am indigent or unable to pay the fee to take part in this program.
