Section 11562 Of Article 2. Substance Abuse Treatment Control Units From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 10. >> Chapter 10. >> Article 2.

. When the Youth Authority concludes that there are reasonable
grounds for believing that a person committed to its custody, and 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 that person in a substance abuse treatment
control unit for not to exceed 90 days. The order shall be a
sufficient warrant for any peace officer or employee of the
Department of the Youth Authority to return to physical custody that
person. Detention pursuant to the order shall not be deemed a
suspension, cancellation, or revocation of parole unless the Youth
Authority so orders pursuant to Section 1767.3 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code.
With the consent of the Director of Corrections, the Director of
the Youth Authority may, pursuant to this section, confine the
addicted or habituated or potentially addicted or habituated person,
over 18 years of age, in a substance abuse treatment control unit
established by the Department of Corrections.
No person committed to the custody of the Youth Authority and on
parole shall be placed in a substance abuse treatment control unit
against his or her will.
