Summary
In California, probation terms can include mandatory rehab for violations. The state may cover costs if you qualify for Medicaid; otherwise, you must find alternative funding. Repeated failed drug tests can lead to stricter measures, but inability to pay for treatment might not result in prison, though other penalties could apply. Contact your local court for specific details.Full Conversation
I need to know what my rights are concerning my probation officer telling me I have to go to a *-month residential treatment facility but they won't pay for it. Even though I'm off probation in 6 months I've gone to three different treatment centers I'm struggling and doing my best to stay off drugs but I have given them * dirty tests.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Shawna. To provide you with the most accurate information, could you please let me know which state you are located in? Laws regarding probation and drug treatment can vary by location.

- If not, you'll need to pay for it yourself or find alternative funding.

But don't they take into consideration how well I've done probation up until this point? And if I can't pay for it do I risk going to prison?
In California, probation progress can be considered. However:
- Repeated failed drug tests might lead to harsher measures.
