to attended recommended intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment since February 29, 2024.

Center East. Subsequently, Mr. Vela-Hernandez entered intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment (IOP) at Pioneer

On February 5, 2024, his substance abuse treatment was reduced to an outpatient (OP) level of care, in which Mr. Vela-
Hernandez was required to attend weekly treatment sessions at PHS.

treatment was increased back to IOP, requiring him to attend three sessions per week.
According to staff members at PHS, Mr. Vela-Hernandez has failed to report for substance abuse treatment sessions since
