Does ANYONE know the standard for failed drug screen while on probation in Indiana?
I was arrested in 2005 for meth. Released in June of 2007 and been on probation every since. On Dec. 11 2009 i failed a drug screen. Had a slight relapse and got caught ( probably a blessing since it was one of the first times i had used since 2005). It was the first and only time I had stepped out of line and spent 10 days in jail with possibly more to come. I lost the job i had been at since being released and had my name plastered in the paper AGAIN. People keep telling me that they shouldnt have arrested me for my first and only fail rather made me attend substance abuse classes or some alternative. I am facing 4 yrs if they send me back

They were right to arrest you, regardless of the number of times you fail. Your agreement with the court was to stay clean.
That being said, because it was your first time and budgets are like they are, you probably won't be sent anywhere. Most states are to the point of early release for things like drug crimes that didn't include another person. They aren't going to spend the time and money to put you back in. Keep doing it though and they eventually will make you serve the four years.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that your indiscretion was just a blip and isn't you falling back into that life. Good luck and for what it's worth, congratulations on staying clean for that long.
