Escapes or Abscondence by Voluntary Submission Cases

Escape by voluntary submission clients triggers the application of specific provisions under Section 30 of Republic Act No. 6425, as amended.
Upon a third escape by a voluntary client, the treatment center must notify the Dangerous Drugs Board within 24 hours.

Procedures for Escapes by Compulsory Submission Cases

If a client under compulsory submission escapes, the center is required to submit a written report to the proper court within 24 hours.
A copy of this report must concurrently be furnished to the Dangerous Drugs Board.

Enforcement and Effectivity

This regulation was adopted on April 25, 1980, and took effect immediately upon adoption.
It is issued pursuant to specific provisions of Republic Act No. 6425 as amended, reinforcing its binding legal authority on residential treatment centers for drug dependents.
