(6) Immediately respond to probationers who have absconded from supervision with service of bench warrants and immediate sanctions;

(v) Early termination of the sentence;

(8) Ensure funding for and referral to substance abuse treatment for probationers who repeatedly fail to refrain from illicit drug use;
