The lawyer representing your girlfriend can make an offer to the Assistant State Attorney to see if they will be willing to let her enter a program rather than serve time in jail. Typically the terms of an agreement for rehab require the Defendant to remain in jail until a bed is available at the rehab program. Having a program ready with a bed at the time of the plea is the best option so that your girlfriend is not waiting in jail for a bed to become available. Unfortunately there is no guarantee that the Assistant State Attorney will agree to a rehab program. If the Assistant State Attorney does not agree the lawyer can also ask the Judge if he/she is willing to accept a plea with the condition of completion of a inpatient rehab program rather than a jail sentence.
