HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE
SECTION 11560-11565

11560.  The Department of Corrections and the Department of the
Youth Authority are authorized to establish substance abuse treatment
control units in state correctional facilities or training schools
or as separate establishments for any study, research, and treatment
that may be necessary for the control of the addiction or
habituation, or imminent addiction or habituation, to controlled
substances or alcohol of persons committed to the custody of the
Director of Corrections or the Director of the Youth Authority.
11561.  When the parole authority concludes that there are
reasonable grounds for believing that a person on parole is addicted
or habituated to, or is in imminent danger of addiction or
habituation to, controlled substances or alcohol, it may, in
accordance with procedures used to revoke parole, issue an order to
detain or place the person in a substance abuse treatment control
unit for a period not to exceed 90 days.  The order shall be a
sufficient warrant for any peace officer or employee of the
Department of Corrections to return the person to physical custody.
Detention pursuant to the order shall not be deemed a suspension,
cancellation, or revocation of parole until the parole authority so
orders pursuant to Section 3060 of the Penal Code.  A parolee taken
into physical custody pursuant to Section 3060 of the Penal Code may
be detained in a substance abuse treatment control unit established
pursuant to this article.
   No person on parole shall be placed in a substance abuse treatment
control unit against his or her will.

grounds for believing that a person committed to its custody, and on

addiction or habituation to, controlled substances or alcohol, it
may, in accordance with procedures used to revoke parole, issue an
order to detain or place that person in a substance abuse treatment
control unit for not to exceed 90 days.  The order shall be a
sufficient warrant for any peace officer or employee of the
Department of the Youth Authority to return to physical custody that
person.  Detention pursuant to the order shall not be deemed a
suspension, cancellation, or revocation of parole unless the Youth
Authority so orders pursuant to Section 1767.3 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code.
   With the consent of the Director of Corrections, the Director of
the Youth Authority may, pursuant to this section, confine the
addicted or habituated or potentially addicted or habituated person,

established by the Department of Corrections.
   No person committed to the custody of the Youth Authority and on
parole shall be placed in a substance abuse treatment control unit
against his or her will.
11563.  When the parole authority concludes that there are
reasonable grounds for believing that a woman on parole is addicted
or habituated to, or is in imminent danger of addiction or
habituation to, controlled substances or alcohol, it may, in
accordance with procedures used to revoke parole, issue an order to
detain or place the person in a substance abuse treatment control
unit for a period not to exceed 90 days.  The order shall be a
sufficient warrant for any peace officer or employee of the
Department of Corrections to return the person to physical custody .
Detention pursuant to the order shall not be deemed a suspension,
cancellation, or revocation of parole until such time as the  parole
authority so orders pursuant to Section 3060 of the Penal Code.  A
parolee taken into physical custody pursuant to Section 3060, 6043,
or 6044 of the Penal Code may be detained in a substance abuse
treatment control unit established pursuant to this article.
   No woman on parole shall be placed in a substance abuse treatment
control unit against her will.

Department of the Youth Authority in no way limits Sections 3060 and
3325 of the Penal Code.
11565.  For purposes of this article, "parole authority" has the
same meaning as described in Section 3000 of the Penal Code.
