A:
I'm sorry to hear you're facing this situation. Since you've been on probation for three years and have successfully completed two years in the drug program without any violations, this history will be important in court. Your consistent participation shows your commitment to meeting the terms of your probation.
When you miss a required program session, the court may view it as a violation of your probation terms. Possible outcomes could include a warning, an extension of your probation period, or additional requirements such as more program participation. In some cases, there might be more serious consequences, but your positive track record will be considered.
It's important to communicate with your probation officer and seek legal advice as soon as possible. They can help you understand your options and prepare for your court appearance. Taking proactive steps can demonstrate your willingness to comply and may positively influence the court's decision.
