More details to this question:
I am a drug court client. I have been on drug court for 2 years on a 3rd degree felony possession of marijuana. I have done 80 days in jail, did 6 months intensive outpatient treatment and 92 days inpatient rehab. I have relapsed once on alcohol. I have fallen on job issues and I am now homeless. I was offered drug court before probation. Thank you for your feedback.

If you have a plea in abeyance, that will be set aside and a conviction entered. The judge will then be entitled to sentence you according to the statutory guidelines. You will have 36 months of supervised probation, if the conviction is for a felony. You cold get more jail, or prison, depending on your prior history.
