Typically, when a judge sentences an offender to probation, the order may read that the offender is to participate in treatment, whether drug, alcohol, or mental health.  It is up to the probation officer to identify the most appropriate treatment program for the offender, and then to monitor the offender's compliance.  The key to successfully designing conditions of probation is to identify first the offender's individual needs and then identify the services in the community that can meet those needs.  The information contained in the presentence investigation report, in addition to information taken at probation intake, should be very useful in identifying the needs of the individual offender.
