    Default Will Going to Drug Treatment Stop Probation Violation Proceedings

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: georgia

    I was recently sentenced to probation in cobb county for drug possession that happened over a year ago. I was sent to take a drug test the day after my probation intake and before taking it I immediately called my new officer and told him I wasn't sure what the results would be but that I was going into treatment. He said that's okay as long as I go to treatment and send him the paper work within a week. So I did. While in treatment my landlord evicted us. The place I was receiving treatment usually doesn't let you leave in less than 5 to 7 days but they let me leave on day 3, after speaking with my landlord to confirm the situation, to handle the situation. I thought I would be fine but I was wrong. I got sick and did drugs.

    After being evicted, I moved to another county therefore I had to transfer my probation. I was told to report to my new office within 5 business days. I went on the 5th day when they were about to close so my new officer told me to come back the following Monday and take a test. Before Monday came, my previous officer from the county I was living in before called me and said he had to re submit all my transfer papers and start the process over. So I realized I probably have 5 more business days to report. But I did call my new office the day I was told to come in, and someone at the front desk said my transfer is still pending so call tomorrow. I called the following afternoon and he said I could come the next day. The next day he said she wasn't in the office so to come the next day. That was Friday. Now it's the weekend and I haven't gone yet but tomorrow would make the 5th business day, so I was going to go then.

    My question is... Would I get in trouble if I went into drug treatment today? I have been waiting on a bed to open up and it has. But I'm afraid to go without seeing my new officer. Thanks for any help.
