More details to this question:
It's her first probation violation, shes already been in jail for 60 days. Total of 70 by her court date on June 9th. the PO wants to send her to NEOCAP for 3-6 months. Even deflected a treatment programs attempt at providing a resolution. I don't know what to do this just seems crazy to me and really harsh it's her first offense, and it's her first probation violation, AND her first time in jail... Like I don't know what to do and I'm limited on funds for an attorney but am willing to pay for one if it will help. It is Trumbull County Court of Common Pleas, and Adult Probation.

Hiring an attorney will typically help. However, results can never be guaranteed and lawyers are limited by the facts of the case, pertinent law as well as the judge and prosecutors involved. Is it "worth" the price you will pay? Probably. It likely would have helped more when fighting the original charge. Violations of probation can be difficult to litigate as law enforcement typically has ample evidence to prove their case.
Best of luck.
