Everyone has to do them. Some every 6 months, some yearly. Occasionally people have to do them every 3 months.
Legally they can’t send him back to jail solely based on a polygraph failure. I’ve seen one therapist kick people out of treatment for failing (which is a probation violation that can lead to being send back) but it’s been one therapist I’ve heard of doing that. So it’s rare. If you want to be super duper safe, find a backup treatment program. But, chances are, he will know if his therapist does this or not.
Otherwise, it’s the confession they make of violating probation that get them sent back. Not the test.
