What Problem?
Trying to figure out my son's Probation. They want him to go to an Assessment whereby they will determine if he needs treatment. If he tells the truth, he'll be recommended for treatment - if he lies, they'll assume he's lying and recommend him for treatment. There's no money made on telling a client they don't need therapy.
My son is a juvenile and the goal is to rehabilitate rather than punish. How can they rehab my son if they tell him it's okay to test positive so long as he's in a treatment program? I would choose to keep my son away from a program like that at all costs. I'm not saying that my son doesn't have a problem... he's 16 years old and going through a number of phases. If a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?
