Understanding Your Options in Drug Charges
Are you being charged with a drug offense and the prosecutor is unwilling to let you go with a deferred or suspended sentence and they’re really pushing for jail time? Hi, I’m Tahlequah Drug Crimes Attorney Aaron Grubb at Wirth Law Office and in this video, we’re going to talk about how to actually work out a deal with the prosecutor when drug charges are involved.
In a recent case, I’ve been dealing with a prosecutor who is aggressively pushing for jail time, regardless of my client’s prior record. My client struggles with addiction, and it’s crucial to show that this is a serious mental health issue — not something that jail can fix. Incarceration doesn’t rehabilitate people; in many cases, it leads to relapse, sending them right back to where they started.
Exploring Rehabilitation Over Incarceration
A better alternative? Rehabilitation programs. That’s our approach — demonstrating a real commitment to recovery through enrollment in treatment programs. This shows the court that we’re addressing the root issue, not just punishing it. Jail shouldn’t be the automatic solution when there are more effective, long-term options.
