The participant is also required to submit to testing if requested by the Treatment Provider, the Probation Department, or the Renewal Court Judge. All testing results will be shared with the Judge and the other members of the Treatment Team. Testing positive will result in a sanction and/or therapeutic adjustment and shall be immediately enforced and reinforced by the Renewal Court Judge. Participants are tested with an instant urinalysis drug screen. The collection of test specimens are witnessed directly by a staff person who has been trained to prevent tampering and substitution of fraudulent specimens. It is the participant’s responsibility to travel to the testing location during the hours indicated for the testing. Participants are expected to arrive at the testing location, currently located at Community Counseling Center or Signature Health’s Conneaut offices, to produce a sample within a certain period of time. The following acts are treated as positive tests and subject to sanction: • If the participant fails to provide a urine sample when requested, it will be the same as a positive test and immediately sanctioned. • A diluted sample is considered a positive test and will be immediately sanctioned. • Should the participant tamper with or adulterate the urine sample, including submitting the sample of another individual, it will be considered a positive test and the participant will be immediately sanctioned. If a participant tests positive, the participant may request that the sample be re- tested for confirmation. If the participant fails to make a timely request so that the sample is not available to re-test, the ability to request confirmation testing is deemed waived. If the confirmation testing returns positive, the participant will be sanctioned and/or given a therapeutic adjustment. In addition to sanctions for positive tests, the Judge and treatment team may require a change in the participant’s treatment plan. Participants are also expected to submit to testing of his/her breath, hair follicle or blood as required by the Renewal Court Treatment Team.
