hiatus from treatment Probation Violation?

Colorado
I am currently on probation in Colorado for dui, along with the case I have a 2yr deferred dui and a 3yr deferred aggravated motor vehicle theft. I was ordered to complete 24hrs level II ADAD education and 86hrs of therapy. My P.O. ordered my treatment to begin by 4-25-08 and be completed by 08-2009. What would be the legal ramifications of taking an unauthorized 6-week hiatus from my current treatment. Can i even take a hiatus as long as I meet the completion date? And are there any measures i can take to protect myself if i take the break? Thank you.

If you violate your probation as outlined in your post, you will go to the clink.

Your deferrals will cease to be deferred and you'll get those convictions and their inherent penalties.

hey flyingron, why would something like this ever be deferred? I don't get it. I mean, who does it benefit?

If the break is for a legitimate reason, why not seek permission?
