A: You need to work with your officer. If you go off the grid they can arrest you. Probation and parole is in charge with supervising you and you have to abide by their rules and their timetable.

A: It doesn’t work like that. You should consult your po and make a written request for treatment. That way it is documented prior to any adverse action that you believe may be taken against you.
