Section 11561 Of Article 2. Substance Abuse Treatment Control Units From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 10. >> Chapter 10. >> Article 2.
11561
. When the parole authority concludes that there are
reasonable grounds for believing that a person on parole is addicted
or habituated to, or is in imminent danger of addiction or
habituation to, controlled substances or alcohol, it may, in
accordance with procedures used to revoke parole, issue an order to
detain or place the person in a substance abuse treatment control
unit for a period not to exceed 90 days. The order shall be a
sufficient warrant for any peace officer or employee of the
Department of Corrections to return the person to physical custody.
Detention pursuant to the order shall not be deemed a suspension,
cancellation, or revocation of parole until the parole authority so
orders pursuant to Section 3060 of the Penal Code. A parolee taken
into physical custody pursuant to Section 3060 of the Penal Code may
be detained in a substance abuse treatment control unit established
pursuant to this article.
No person on parole shall be placed in a substance abuse treatment
control unit against his or her will.
