Court Mandated Diversion

The Court Mandated Diversion (CMD) program provides Magistrates with an option to divert eligible offenders into treatment for their drug use through either the bail or sentencing process.

There are three basic ways diversion into drug treatment can occur after a plea of guilty or a finding of guilt:

• through conditions attached to a bail order; or
• through a condition of an order supervised by Community Corrections or Youth Justice Services; or
• through a Drug Treatment Order where a Magistrate will continually review offender progress on the order.
