(4)The specified person must be a person who has the necessary qualifications or experience in relation to the treatment to be provided.
(5)The specified period must not be longer than the period specified in the offender supervision requirement to be imposed at the same time as the drug treatment requirement (by virtue of section 227G(2)(b)).

(a)the offender is dependent on, or has a propensity to misuse, any controlled drug (as defined in section 2(1)(a) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (c.38)),
(b)the dependency or propensity requires, and may be susceptible to, treatment, and
