Introduction

Drug and alcohol prohibition and testing conditions have long been viewed as a means to
address the risk of offending by certain defendants and convicted offenders.
This is because – for some people with substance abuse issues – the risk of offending may
be quite low if they are able to refrain from using the substances for which they have
a particular problem. Drug and alcohol conditions involve a prohibition on using certain
substances, often coupled with testing requirements. They aim to deter the use of drugs
and/or alcohol and provide early identification of people who need additional support.
When these conditions are available, reliance on detention as a means to protect the public
from further offending and rehabilitate the individual is reduced.
Drug and alcohol conditions are not new, but recent changes to legislation and practice
have made them more available.
