Representation in Compulsory-Treatment Cases
The Georgian title of this page is a garbled machine translation flagged for editorial correction; the actual subject is medico-legal defence — the analysis of the institutions that concern a person suffering from drug addiction when the court appoints compulsory treatment. A guiding boundary is noted: the proper regime of substitution therapy (methadone or buprenorphine programmes) lives in the law on narcological assistance and health-ministry acts and lies outside this page; the Criminal Code regulates precisely the coercive medical intervention against which defence is needed — its grounds, nature, duration and discontinuation.
