Swiss Criminal Code

¹ The com­pet­ent au­thor­ity shall as­sess at least once each year wheth­er the out-pa­tient treat­ment should be con­tin­ued or ter­min­ated. It shall first grant a hear­ing to the of­fend­er and ob­tain a re­port from the ther­ap­ists.

² The out-pa­tient treat­ment is ter­min­ated by the com­pet­ent au­thor­ity if:

a.

it has been suc­cess­fully com­pleted;

b.

its con­tinu­ation ap­pears to have no pro­spect of suc­cess; or

c.

the stat­utory max­im­um dur­a­tion for the treat­ment of an al­co­hol, drug or thera­peut­ic product de­pend­ent per­son has been reached.

³ If the of­fend­er com­mits a fur­ther of­fence dur­ing the out-pa­tient treat­ment and thus demon­strates that this form of treat­ment will prob­ably be un­suc­cess­ful in avert­ing the risk of­fences be­ing com­mit­ted in which the con­di­tion of the of­fend­er is a factor, the un­suc­cess­ful treat­ment shall be ter­min­ated by or­der of the court as­sess­ing the new of­fence.

⁴ If the of­fend­er fails to com­ply with the con­di­tions of pro­ba­tion as­sist­ance or if he dis­reg­ards the con­duct or­ders, Art­icle 95 para­graphs 3–5 ap­plies.
