I was arrested and put on probation for a single hydrocodone pill that was found in the door of a friend's car that I was driving. I was put on probation and during that time I was passing my drug test and attending my meetings. During the time before I was given probation but after the arrest date I got a shoplifting charge. Now I'm on probation I catch another shoplifting charge and another small drug charge which violates my probation and although I'm supposed to report today I have already been informed that I will be probably arrested if I go to the meeting. I'm wondering, because I've been planning on this, if I'm able to check myself into a drug detox / rehab today and have someone take proof to my meeting and give to the probation officer, would that help my chances at all at court for the second charge and probation revocation coming up, will I get another felony for the revocation and another felony for the drug charge and another felony if I'm in rehab or drug detoxing Center over the court date or will they give me a continuance if I have someone show up on my behalf with paperwork stating that that's where I'm at. I have all good intentions of completeing the rehab not because of the charges but because I need to for myself. I do want to avoid jail time if possible and would drug court be an option right now if I were to follow through with my plan of admitting myself somewhere today.? I really don't know what to do I don't have a lawyer I don't have the money to afford one even though I know I need one.
