    Question Revoked Probation on Heroin Possession

    My son was arrested in Illinois on possession of heroin, he tested positive for drugs while on probation and was ordered to inpatient rehab, while there his father became gravely ill and he was let out to see him. He tried to get back in, but they said he would have to re-enter after 30 days because of reimbursement. He didn't contact his probation officer about what was going on and they had a warrant out for his arrest. He is now in the county jail on $50,000 bond and awaiting a court date in the next 2 weeks. He was granted a public defender , but he is on vacation until the day my son is to go to court. What is the worst possible scenerio, and what can he do to help solve his problem? He is unemployed with no money and has drained us financially.

    They will more than likely postpone his court hearing as the PD will need time to review his case. If it is a VOP then he will probably stay in jail unless he gets bond posted.

    Good luck

    The first step in any family support group for the family of addicts is to recognize and admit that you are powerless over the addict. You can't do anything to help solve the problem - that's entirely up to him, and it won't happen unless and until he's ready. The most you can do is provide him with opportunities.

    You need to set limits to protect yourself, and that includes financial limits, as well as limits which protect your mental and physical health.
