(c) The administrative sanctions which may be imposed by DCS are as follows, from most restrictive to least restrictive:
(1) Probation detention center or residential substance abuse treatment facility;
(2) Probation boot camp;
(3) DCS day reporting center;
(4) Electronic monitoring;
(5) Community service; or
(6) Probation supervision.
