Petty thieves and small time crooks as thieves and burglars can quickly be court-order drug rehab and going on drug testing in Scotland. Currently receive only those convicted of serious offences mandatory drug testing and drug rehab.
Scottish Cabinet ministers, impressed by the success of the existing program for serious offenders who drug problems, have agreed to the extension of the scope of the program to thousands of lesser offenders to see if similar progress can be achieved. Almost half-48% of the more serious offenders who are already using the right-order program have not been emergency regulations two years later.
If the competence of the Cabinet plan passes, all courts would get at hand was drug rehab and drug testing orders an offender if the courts there felt a clear drugs link. Cabinet Ministers asked officials to come up with concrete proposals on how to expand drug rehab and testing of orders, and for any infringements.
The minister for the safety of the community, Fergus Ewing, said, "there is undoubtedly a need for a quicker access to drug treatment at an earlier stage for low-rate offenders. Too many of our young people fall in drug abuse and fall out of life. Extension of the scope of drug treatment and testing options can help us capture more of them before they fall too far. "
The Scottish Cabinet ministers showed an enlightened view of offenders suffer from the ravages of substance abuse and addiction. Save lives and people to return to a productive role in society beats languishing in a prison cell, ready to get off and return to drugs and crime. No details of the treatment program were available, but to recidivism among this group with 48 per cent is an impressive and enviable statistics for the Scottish court-order drug rehab programs.
