(2) Except as provided in subsection (1) of this section, results of evaluation or information voluntarily provided to evaluation or treatment personnel by a person under ORS 430.450 to 430.555 shall be confidential and shall not be admitted as evidence in criminal proceedings. Reports submitted to the court or the prosecutor by the diversion coordinator shall consist solely of matters required to be reported by the terms of the diversion plan, together with an assessment of the person’s progress toward achieving the goals set forth in the plan. Communications between the person participating in the plan and the diversion coordinator shall be privileged unless they relate directly to the elements required to be reported under the diversion plan.

430.485 Treatment may be ordered. When the results of the evaluation obtained under ORS 430.460 or 430.465 indicate that the defendant is a drug-dependent person within the meaning of ORS 430.450 to 430.555, and the results of the evaluation indicate that such person may benefit in a substantial manner from treatment for drug dependence, the prosecutor, with the concurrence of the court, may direct the defendant to receive treatment as a contingent alternative to prosecution.

(1) The diversion plan shall include appropriate methods for monitoring the progress of the diverted individual toward the achievement of the defined treatment objectives. In the presence of counsel, the defendant shall review the terms of the individual diversion plan, including methods for monitoring progress, and execute a written statement indicating consent.

[1977 c.871 §20]

430.510 Notice when treatment unsuccessful. If treatment under ORS 430.450 to 430.555 is unsuccessful, the prosecuting attorney and the court shall be notified before the defendant is released from treatment.

[1977 c.871 §25]

430.515 Procedure to terminate treatment. Termination of treatment under ORS 430.450 to 430.555 may be instituted at any time by either the prosecutor, the director of the treatment facility, the court or the person diverted into treatment. An order to terminate treatment shall be based upon a finding of substantial violation of the diversion plan or upon a showing to the satisfaction of the court that the person diverted constitutes a threat to the peace and safety of the public and that continued treatment will involve direct risk to the community or the treatment facility. Such findings and showing shall be made before the court in open hearing, with the person under treatment entitled to counsel and to due process of law. [1977 c.871 §26]

(2) Special attention must be focused on preventive programs and services directed at women at risk of becoming pregnant substance users as well as on pregnant women who use substances or who are at risk of substance use or abuse.

(3) It is the policy of this state to achieve desired results such as alcohol- and drug-free pregnant women and healthy infants through a holistic approach covering the following categories of needs:

(a) Biological-physical need, including but not limited to detoxification, dietary and obstetrical.

430.920 Risk assessment for drug and alcohol use; informing patient of results; assistance to patient in reducing need for controlled substances. (1) The attending health care provider shall perform during the first trimester of pregnancy or as early as possible a risk assessment which shall include an assessment for drug and alcohol usage.

(3) Improve the identification of substance-using women and their recruitment into and retention in appropriate treatment programs;

(4) Decrease the incidence and prevalence of drug and alcohol use among pregnant and postpartum women;

(5) Decrease the incidence of pregnancy among women who use alcohol and other drugs through intensive family planning counseling and referral;

(6) Improve the birth outcomes of women who used alcohol and other drugs during pregnancy and to decrease the incidence of infants affected by maternal substance use;

(7) Reduce the severity of impairment among children born to substance-using women; and

(2) The authority and the Oregon Health and Science University shall request the boards responsible for the licensing of health care providers and appropriate professional organizations to work with them to conduct a series of training sessions for health professionals who provide maternity care on how to assess drug use in pregnancy. [1991 c.706 §4; 2001 c.900 §142; 2009 c.595 §531]
