CC DC CR 102 Form - Maryland Drug Evaluation Court Order

CC DC CR 102 Form PDF Details and Overview

The CC DC CR 102 form is a Maryland court order directing that a defendant undergo an in-custody evaluation for drug or alcohol treatment. Courts issue this order under Health General § 8-505 when the defendant claims or is believed to have a substance abuse problem requiring structured evaluation during criminal proceedings.

Once issued, the CC DC CR 102 is delivered to the detention center holding the defendant. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene then schedules and conducts the evaluation within the timeframe the court specifies. The assigned evaluator reviews the defendant's substance use history and submits a written report to the court within seven days of the evaluation date.

The form specifies the name of the transporting agency responsible for moving the defendant to and from the evaluation site, the scheduled date and time for the evaluation, and the conditions under which the defendant is held during this period. The State's Attorney and defense counsel each receive copies of the evaluation results. If the evaluator determines that treatment is appropriate, the court may issue a follow-up order directing placement in a licensed drug or alcohol treatment program under the Maryland Department of Health.

The CC DC CR 102 applies to defendants in Maryland district and circuit court proceedings where the judge finds reasonable grounds to believe the defendant has an alcohol or drug dependency. This includes cases where the defendant self-reports a substance problem or where the nature of the offense suggests drug or alcohol involvement. This court-ordered process reflects the Maryland judiciary's approach to addressing substance abuse as both a legal and public health matter.

At the follow-up hearing, the court reviews the evaluator's findings and decides whether to order treatment, continue with standard proceedings, or take a different course of action. The defendant and their attorney have the right to respond to the evaluation findings at this hearing. The process is designed to ensure that defendants with genuine substance abuse disorders receive appropriate care as part of the legal process.

If drug testing documentation is also needed, the drug testing consent form provides the appropriate template.
