Can I Be Violated on Probation for Not Taking Drug Classes?

Question by : Can i be violated on probation for not taking drug classes?
So i live in michigan (where im on probation). & im 18

One of my requirements is to take “outpatient substance abuse”.

I was told to call a place called “SEMCA” if i didnt have health insurance (which i dont). They gave me a survey and after i answered all of the questions they denied me because i dont fit the criteria.(basically they’re saying they dont think i need help so they dont want to waste money). I have a letter sent in the mail saying that.

Then, i tried calling several places looking for the class im supposed to take. They all said they either didnt have enough room for me or they wont accept me.

After that, i told my probation officer all of that and she told me to lie and say that i am still doing drugs.
