    Default Arrested With Drugs While On Probation

    My boyfriend was arrested Friday night with friends. There was coke found in the car, in a ciarette pack near my boyfriend. He is on probation for possesion (multi times) in Newburyport, and was drug testiong. He was also on probation out of the ayer cort for driving without a lisence. He failed the drug test he was given when arrested. This is his 1st time charged with possesion of something other then Marajuana. His bail is set at 2000. None of us has the money to do so. I guess what I'm asking is what can he do? Like is there a way he can ask to be put into a rehab or his friend was on house arrest instead of jail time. Is it something he tries to get or is it all up to the judge. He has a record multi pages long and I know he wont be getting out anytime soon (as painful as it is to admit it) But is there anyway we can help him get less of a sentence? Thanks ~BearsDaisy~

    You were told you identify your state and chose not to, which limits the amount of help we can offer.

    If he can't afford bail, how can he afford rehab? Besides, rehab only works if somebody wants to get sober, and it sounds like your boyfriend is far from ready.

    He can get a court-appointed lawyer and discuss his options with his lawyer.

    Some states have drug diversion programs but they are usually reserved for newer offenders.

    Some time in jail might be good for the young lad, might open his eyes to where his life is going. There is usually access to recovery in some jails.
