    To boil this down - you were Court-ordered to attend a rehab program of some type and you did not. Is that the basic question?

    If you left your court ordered program to "wing" it at a different facility of your choosing, the Judge will not be very happy with you at your VOP hearing. He may re-order you back to the original facility and have you finish out your court ordered program there. It's all up to the Judge.
