The court shall conduct periodic review hearings to rigorously follow-up the progress of the incompetent person. Failure to obey the orders of the court shall constitute civil contempt.
It shall be the duty of the guardian to prove to the court, under oath, and under the penalty of losing the guardianship, that he/she submitted the incompetent person to a rehabilitation program.

If the State is the promoter, the person subject to the incompetence procedure shall be entitled to the assistance of legal counsel and to the testimony of an expert in his behalf. Said expert shall not have any financial relationship or contract whatsoever, nor any employer-employee relationship with any entity devoted to drug rehabilitation, whether public or private.
Under no circumstance, regardless of who initiated the procedure, shall the evidence obtained during this procedure, be used against the person submitted to the incompetence procedure in another procedure. Incompetence, as referred to herein, does not constitute unindictability for penal purposes.
