At the end of the successful completion of the program the charges are dismissed. Factors that influence if someone is eligible for DART include:
No offense that is banned by a Washington State RCW
Attend probation appointments and comply with the terms of supervision
Complete a drug and alcohol evaluation and follow all recommendations made by your selected treatment provider Examples of treatment may include but are not limited to:
Inpatient treatment
Outpatient treatment

MAT programs

If the DART program sounds like a program that you or a family member may want to participate in, contact your attorney and inform them of your interest.
