Intervention programs provide substance abuse treatment including medically assisted treatment with mandatory drug testing when appropriate, cognitive behavioral therapy and case management services as appropriate for nondangerous, nonrepetitive offenders.  The county attorney may place persons who have co‑occurring disorders in a felony pretrial intervention program that is funded pursuant to this section.
