Article 8
A drug abstention and rehabilitation center shall monitor and record the rehabilitation progress of delinquents and report the doctor’s determination of delinquents’ tendency of continued drug abuse to the competent prosecutors or juvenile courts at least fifteen
days before the end of the required rehabilitation period.
Delinquents taking the rehabilitation measures no longer have the tendency of drug abuse shall be released through the orders or judgments from respective prosecutors or juvenile
courts. Where a delinquent has an ongoing tendency of drug abuse after finishing his/her rehabilitation period, the prosecutors shall file a motion for compulsory treatment to the court within seven days before the expiration of the period, such ruling shall
be delivered, pronounced or served by the courts or juvenile courts prior to the expiration of the monitoring and
rehabilitation period.
Where
a delinquent is court-ordered to receive compulsory treatment as stated in the preceding paragraph, the custody time starting from the pronouncement or delivery of court orders, until
the arrival
at the drug abuser treatment center
shall be counted as
compulsory treatment period. The same shall
apply to the delinquents whose compulsory treatment
are ordered
by the juvenile court.
The delinquents shall be released by the drug abstention and rehabilitation center no later than
five p.m. on the expiry date of
the required rehabilitation period, unless a compulsory treatment order from the court or juvenile court is pronounced or served. The center shall notify the prosecutor,
court or juvenile court immediately upon the release.
