In the State of Florida, Is Voluntarily Entering a Rehab Clinic Considered a Violation of Probation?

Question by Kevin: In the state of Florida, is voluntarily entering a rehab clinic considered a violation of probation?
My friend is more than half-way through her two year probation (& somehow hasn’t failed any drug tests), but has recently begun abusing painkillers again. Her parents sent her to a detox center for a week & are now entering her into a rehab program that will last six months. She is going willingly. Assuming that they don’t have a problem with her changing addresses, would they have a problem with this? It’s a positive choice, but it’s also an admission of guilt.

Best answer:

Answer by huduuluv
She needs to notify her PO about where she is. Moving without notifying her PO is likely a violation. That said, entering a rehab would not likely be a violation. I can’t imagine a PO or a judge convicting her of a violation based upon that.
