What is the name of your state? Colorado
I was charged with a DWAI in August and started probation following that. Initially I was required to take 8 random BA's each month, 48 hours community service, 24 hours alcohol education, and 6-18 months probation. After failing one BA and missing another BA (in addition to failing a random drug screening (THC)), I was required by my probation supervisor to take 12 random BA's each month and 2 random drug screenings (October). I missed another BA. By the middle of November I was on daily BA's and 2 UA's each month. My drug screenings are specifically for THC.
On December 20th I was permited to travel to Florida to see family. I was required to continue daily BA's and THC screenings. Long story short the only suitable substitute was the 80 hour alcohol UA. Which I took and passed twice while in Florida. The Florida testing center used the general-all inclusive drug test in addtion, which i did not pass one of (THC, cocaine). When i returned to colorado i continued the daily BA's and random UA's.
Mid-January: random UA's increased to 6/month
failed one drug screening(cocaine)
missed (failure to appear) two drug screenings
missed one BA
Mid-Feburary: additional 48 hours drug relapse therapy ordered

I've taken 1 BA since Feb. 14th.
I've not taken any UA's.
I've missed the deadline for the community service and have not contacted that agency.

I have a very serious drug and alcohol problem but I don't think that I am harmful to others in any way and I don't want to go to jail. I have a meeting with my probation supervisor soon and I want to know if anyone can tell me what my options are, house arrest? anabuse? rehab? or am i definately going to jail?What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?

I am not sure how your probation officer is going to be disposed to you. While you don't think you are a threat to society, you obviously were because you were driving impaired. You were given a very big break in being allowed probation to turn yourself around and you obviously are incapable or unwilling to do so.

Trying to get into some more structured rehab will probably bode well as well as setting up a definite plan for completing your community service. You are obviously in need of the rehab anyhow even notwithstanding your legal issues.
