Chicken and egg.
Did her immature attitude lead to her drug use?
Or did drug use create her attitude?
Regardless she was eligible for assistance and she got it. "Among the reasons [the judge]cited for dropping her contempt sentence were her being a first-time offender, her admission that she had abused Xanax, her willingness to overcome her addiction by attending a drug-treatment program and her apology."
It would be interesting to revisit this young woman in, say...three months, six months, a year and see how repentant she is. My bet is she's back in front of another judge before the year's out, but we most likely won't find out about it.
That could very well be the case, however, she has her chance to get clean and live a normal life, in part, thanks to this judge.
