      1. Whether the offender suffers from a substance use disorder;

      2. Whether the substance use disorder is such that there is a probability that criminal behavior will occur in the future;

    3. Before the progress hearing and treatment termination hearing, the treatment provider and the department shall submit written reports to the court and parties regarding the offender's compliance with treatment and monitoring requirements and recommendations regarding termination from treatment.
