    Detearmins on judge but I have been In similar sit anyway letters don't mean a hill of beans unless there from social workers cops judes or other "very important people" but can't hurt (mom doesn't count) relapse is a part of addiction If judge sees that you ARE doing every thing posable to stay clean then you should be cool remember addiction is a disease and addicts can't help but relapse it happens do you have employment are you a working part of society? Anyway go to health department or rehab even if you have to pay out of pocket and get documented CLEAN drug screens you can't do too much just to little but if your are doing good he should order you to cutinue with treatment depending on your past and what's over your head

    Treatment program, judge will see it for what it is, after you were caught you are trying to make a good show

    Bring up arrears ( that is the problem there was arrears until you got caught, now you are finding the money to pay, when you did not before, so what you were doing on probation before the violation is going to be very important to the judge.

    Now it all helps but at the end of the day, the judges opinion on drugs, and the issue of over population in jail.

    I would guess ( and it is up to judge) they allow you another chance after a long talk.
