detainer from probation

[hunterwhite]

What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania

I found out i have a detainer from probation for violating a condition of having to complete a drug and alcohol treatment center. I put myself in another center and tried contacting my p.o while i was in there. Im currently in a recovery house, i attend N/A meetings, im on the vivitrol shot, im doing out patient counseling, and i have a job. Is there a way i can talk to my sentencing judge or someone so i can have the detainer lifted? i dont want to lose all the progress ive been making. This is the best ive done since ive been on probation. I dont have money for an attorney. Any advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Didn't you just post this same question under a different user name?

If you can't reach your probation officer, contact the probation office.

Good you’re in recovery, however part of being sober and changing your life style, you’re clean now so now you can’t hide from probation, get proof of the date you started in your new treatment facility, be prepared.

As long as you have another day clean you are still making progress. Call, if you can have a house manager speak on your behalf that might help, the main argument is going to be you didn’t try to contact probation very hard.
