It all depends on what state you live in and what county. The government has come to realize that just because you have a problem with drugs doesn't mean you are a bad person. But, what they want to see is that you are ready and willing to change. You probably make too much for a public defender (you have to be poor, and I mean poor). If you are honest to the judge and district attorney they will help you. This is only good if you have not had any other drug related legal problems in your past.
And, yes you can call the PD and talk to someone. They can not force you to tell them where you are. They can not reach through the phone and get you. But, you do have to start showing everyone that you are willing to resolve this matter and cooperate. I know it's hard but the best thing is to tell the truth. Remember the legal system (police/district attorney/judge) are all human, they want to here the truth. Think how you feel when someone lies to your face.
You can get through this thing. It is hell and I am going through the w/d's with you. I am 5th day off Ultram. Hurts, but every day is better. The people on here are great! Reach out to others when you need strength. We can't always walk alone.
Good luck.
What really hurt me the most, was my teenage daughter that avoided my phone calls while in rehab answered their phone call yesterday and told them anything they wanted to know, concerning my whereabouts.
Really?
Did you write the scripts before rehab? or after? The law that is in question is if you "knowingly" of "sound" mind attempted to defraud. If by chance you were "high" when you wrote them then you did not "knowingly" of "sound" mind commit such crime. Talk to the police, get this out of the way so that you can concentrate on recovery.
good luck

Welcome to the forum........
One thing I agree with is the police will come and your charge will be
To obtain a controlled substance by fraud......
Liz Lou is right if you do have a clean record you will be fine and probably probation.......
If you have some baggage you could be in trouble.........
I would talk to the police but not answer any questions pertaining to the case...
You can find out if there is a warrent and then tell him that you will turn yourself in that will make a load of difference at your arraignment as far as bond.....
The very sad thing in your post to me is your kids look what they have had to go through......
Going to a rehab for your drug problem is commendable but as an addict could it be just sugar coating for the judge..........
You speak of honesty with your family you need to stop running from the police and start standing up for your past indiscretions.......you can't afford a lawyer then the judge will grant you one........
Before you sitting in jail with no options take care of the kids and make sure there safe and take care of your legal matters......while you can.....
You really need an attorney. Even if you can just go to consult one very briefly, I'd do it as soon as possible.
And if your husband has an mj habit, I hope he gets it all out of the house, like this minute. If you both have drug habits, you could wind up with CPS taking your children out of the home.
Bad problem. Good luck.
I was at the brest cancer one aids one, but i saw you at a grief one.
