### sec.231 Sentencing an offender after enforcement of warrant
This section applies if a magistrate sentences an offender to whom section 230 applies.
In sentencing the offender, the magistrate must have regard to the initial sentence contained in the offender’s intensive drug rehabilitation order.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that, in applying section 159A to a sentence for a term of imprisonment imposed on an offender under this section, time spent in custody under the Drug Court Act, other than under section 32 (1) (f) of that Act, is taken to be imprisonment already served under the sentence.
