Question by Samantha Cole: Im on probation and caught another charge is there anyway i can get drug treatment verses prison?
Im on five yrs probation and a cpl w eeks ago i was in the car w my ex bf and got pulled over , the ex bf had drugs on him and they charged me w the drugs as well. Im out on bond and am gonna hire a new attorney. But im wondering if i could get drug treatment instead of prison time, cause i do realize i need help and i want help. Also i know the treatment would have to be linked w the court system and allow offenders only , like a lock down treatment. Im gonna research programs that fit that criteria and present the different rehabs to my attorney. Do u think that may work..? Thanks for your time 🙂

Will it make any difference to you even after being given a 2nd chance you choose to hang with those who you know are using or dealing drugs. If i were the judge i would not give you a 3rd chance because you will just continue down the path your on.
