What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

I have a friend who is considering departing from Florida because she is about to be arrested for violation of misdemeanor DUI probation (due to failing a drug test). I am trying to convince her to do the right thing (face her PO). That being said, what is the standard punishment that would be added to her charges if she leaves the state without authorization in order to avoid arrest for violation of probation?

Absconding isn't going to make things better. Whatever leniency they'd give in the sanctions for the failed drug test is going right out the window when compounded like this. She'll still be subject to arrest even out of state (and out of state holds can be particularly annoying).
