    (1)     Subject to subsection (1A), the Drug Court may, on its own initiative, as a reward cancel the treatment and supervision part and custodial part of a drug and alcohol treatment order if it considers that—

        (b)     the continuation of the order is no longer necessary to meet the purposes for which it was made.
