Question by kiki: Can a person plead drug dependent in the state of ohio, and get the chance to do rehab?
A friend of mine is in jail now for fleeing and eluding, plus has charges filed against him for forgery. It’s their first time in trouble. They do have a drug problem. Will pleading drug dependant give this person the opportunity to seek drug treatment help and avoid prison or serving time. My friend is not an minor. Thanks, kiki
