The Federal Narcotics Rehabilitation Act of 1966, as implemented by an appropriation in 1967, makes it possible for the narcotics addict to commit himself for treatment without facing prosecution for a crime. Under the law, treatment rather than punishment is available to those accused of certain crimes, those convicted of certain federal crimes and those who voluntarily enter a rehabilitation program. According to the Illinois State Bar association, a person who seeks treatment should visit the nearest U.S. Attorney's office. If the addict qualifies, the U.S. Attorney will petition the court for permission to place him in a hospital for treatment. The addict's criminal record makes no difference. The law says he cannot be prosecuted for submitting voluntarily. The spouse of an addict, a IRST.

Three categories of patients may receive treament under the terms of this program. Under Title I of the Act a judge may advise a narcotics addict charged with a federal crime that criminal charges will be held in abeyance if he commits himself. He then has five days in which to make a decision. If he agrees to treatment, he will undergo examinations for 60 days. After examination he will spend a period of time (probably at least six months) at the U.S. Public Health Service hospital in Lexington, Kentucky. Oh completion 6f his hospitalization, he can be released as an out-patient, remaining under court jurisdiction for 36 months. If he resumes the use of narcotics, the court can impose the criminal proceedings set aside at the time of his commitment to the hospital. If he is free' from addiction, the criminal charges are dropped. However, individuals charged with crimes of violence (murder, rape, etc.) those charged with importing or peddling narcotics and those with convictions for more than two prior felonies are not eligible for the program. Title II concerns the addict who has been convicted of a federal crime and who is about to be sentenced. He maybe submitted by the court to a 30-day examination after which, if he qualifies he may be sentenced for treatment instead of being sent to prison. Later he may be released conditionally, under supervision, but may be returned to custody at any time he reverts to the use of narcotics. Again, those ineligible under Title I, because of the nature of their crimes or prior conviction, are also ineligible for the program under Title II, (except that a person charged with peddling narcotics, if that offense arose because of his addiction, may be eligible. Title HI provides that an addict, if not under indictment prosecution or probation, may voluntarily seek assistance. Any past criminal record cannot be held against him, nor can he be prosecuted for voluntarily submitting to treatment. At the end of the hospitalization period he may also serve up to 36 months under conditional release. The ISBA points out that un- - der the Third Provision of this new law those who voluntarily enter the rehabilitation program can be returned for further hospitalization should a relapse occur.
