If I was arrested for a drug offense will I be sent to rehab?
If you were arrested for a drug crime in Florida then there is no mandatory drug rehabilitation. However, often times going to rehab help people not only get their lives back on track, but also avoid jail time or a conviction. There are special drug courts for people charged with possession that are 1st time offenders. Completing the drug court program will not only get you counseling but may also result in your case ultimately being dismissed.
If you are charged with selling drugs then the drug court won’t accept you, however, that does not mean that hope is lost. We have successfully argued for many people arrested with delivery of narcotics, purchase of narcotics, and trafficking to have mere possession charges filed, making them eligible for drug court and a dismissal.
