Are UAs (urinalysis testing) required?

Incentives range from in-court recognition by the judge to vouchers for food/clothing and passes for family outings such as movies or the zoo. • What are responses and how or when do I get them? The Family Treatment Court uses responses if you don’t follow the court order. The kind of behavior resulting in a response can include: dirty or dilute UAs, not showing up for UA testing, failing to go to treatmen
