Im on Probation and Caught Another Charge Is There Anyway I Can Get Drug Treatment Verses Prison?

Question by Samantha Cole: Im on probation and caught another charge is there anyway i can get drug treatment verses prison?
Im on five yrs probation and a cpl w eeks ago i was in the car w my ex bf and got pulled over , the ex bf had drugs on him and they charged me w the drugs as well. Im out on bond and am gonna hire a new attorney. But im wondering if i could get drug treatment instead of prison time, cause i do realize i need help and i want help. Also i know the treatment would have to be linked w the court system and allow offenders only , like a lock down treatment. Im gonna research programs that fit that criteria and present the different rehabs to my attorney. Do u think that may work..? Thanks for your time 🙂

Will it make any difference to you even after being given a 2nd chance you choose to hang with those who you know are using or dealing drugs. If i were the judge i would not give you a 3rd chance because you will just continue down the path your on.

ATTENTION ALL TEEN MOM WANNABES: Amber Portwood Sentenced To 5 YEARS In PRISON!!! – This Description Was Provided By:www.huffingtonpost.com Amber Portwood is headed to prison now that a judge has reimposed her original prison sentence, which was handed down from a December 2011 drug arrest. Portwood, who appeared on the MTV reality show “Teen Mom,” faced a judge Tuesday and was sentenced her to five years behind bars. She had previously struck a plea agreement, which mandated she complete a drug rehab program or go to prison. Last week, Portwood appeared in court and, to her lawyer’s dismay, told a judge she was unable to complete her rehab program. According to TMZ, she said she will always be a “bad girl” and asked to be sent to prison instead. In 2010, Portwood was charged with three felonies for domestic violence against her ex-fiance, Gary Shirley, which occurred while their daughter Leah was present and was caught by MTV cameras. She was placed on two years probation — after a two-year jail sentence was suspended — which she violated in 2011 when she got into a physical altercation and was found with prescription medication without having a prescription. In June 2011, Portwood was rushed to the hospital after what was rumored to be a suicide attempt. Portwood, who will be referred to the Indiana Department of Corrections’ drug treatment program, appeared on the first cycle of MTV’s “Teen Mom” which featured her life with Leah, who is now 3 years old.
