A: First off, every court is different. I don't know what court your case is in, but GENERALLY the answer is no. Relapses are a part of recovery, particularly when someone goes through something like you have. As long as the treatment agency is aware and addressing it, then you should be fine.

Make sure the court always has your current address, because if they did want to address it with you they send notice through the mail. You want to make sure you get that notice.

Good luck.
