If an individual in treatment fails a polygraph he/or she will have an opportunity to discuss the matter further with the treatment provider and probation officer, if applicable. Depending on what is disclosed by client at that time, he/she might be required to retake the polygraph. If the individual is unable to pass the second polygraph, unsuccessful discharge might occur as inability to pass a polygraph is indicative of deception and increases concern of subsequent risk to the community.
