Does PDAP provide a letter for me to take to court for charges concerning drugs or alcohol?”
You need to attend a PDAP meeting to get a “Letter of Attendance Verification” from a senior staff member. This letter will show the court that you have taken responsibility to join a drug program. This does not mean that charges will be dropped, or that your fines or sentence will be reduced. For many cases involving drugs or alcohol violations, part of the requirements for probation or sentence will be mandatory participation in a drug program. PDAP may or may not be suitable, depending on the decision of the court. Your attorney or probation officer may provide a list of suitable resources that you will be able to complete.
