Most likely you will be allowed to continue taking prescribed medication, but make sure to clear it with the doctors and/or authorities administrating your program.

I would go to the drug court to get permission to have this treatment.

You need to inform your PO. You should seek an alternative medication that can do the job Xanax is doing for you.

You need to ensure all your documentation of prescription are available to your probation officer/caseworker and the Court at all times. You cannot fail a drug test if you have taken legally prescribed drugs and provided the documentation to the tester. You also will need to correctly fill out and sign the pretest paperwork indicating you know you will test dirty for xanax (and anything else you are prescribed). The legal prescription is a defense to any failed tests.
