A: First of all, violation of probation is treated seriously. It really depends on the PO and the judge. Some of my clients get violated after 4 times, and for others it is earlier. There are a lot of scenarios. Jail time is common; however, a lot of time if you are working, you can do it on weekends. Rehab clinics are also a possibility. You should consult with a local criminal defense attorney.
