How to determine the best Rehabilitation option


When you are placed on Juvenile Probation based on your charges on your intake meeting your Probation Officer will then come up with a rehabilitation plan for you. Your Probation Officer is a profession, they are not going to put you in intense drug counseling if you do not have a history with drugs, or they see no sign of usage. You may however routinely get drug tested because that is part of the expectations on juvenile probation. Your rehabilitation plan will co-inside with the reason you are on probation. Everyone most likely has a fine pertaining to your charge/ charges; you are either paying compensation to the government or to the victim. This is most likely required to be paid off before you are successfully off probation; it is part of your rehabilitation plan. Here are a few options your P.O decide on what to go with.
(Broad fashion of rehabilitation) Specific fashion will reason with specific state and city

1. Counseling- this could be anger management, academic counseling, drug and alcohol, family therapy, social skills building etc.
2. House arrest-you would be required to wear a wrist or ankle bracelet that will verify your location at all times.
3. Curfews- you would be given a time by your P.O. to be in your house by the specific time they gave you, sometimes you may have to call your P.O. and give verification (check-in). They may even come and check themselves to see if you are in be curfew.
4. Community Service-given community service you will have a number of hours you have to work for your community or for another.

If a juvenile is suspected of violating a probation order, the probation officer notifies the court, typically by filing a "violation of probation" notice. If the judge finds that the minor has unquestionably violated the terms of his probation, the court can withdraw the probation option and impose a harsher sentence, such as incarceration at a detention facility.
