Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I am in Florida, I went to court and agreed to a plea bargain. My charges were conspiracy to commit a 2nd degree felony, RX forgery x3, uttering x3. Adjudication was witheld on all charges except the uttering. I was sentenced to 270 days in jail and 5 years probation, along with other conditions(community service etc.) One of the conditions which has now been brought to my attention is substance abuse evaluation and treatment. My issue with this is I was not a prescription drug user or abuser for that matter. Do I have any recourse to be able to get this part of the plea dropped?

These are the terms you agreed to. If you didn't like the terms then your option was to go to trial. Without consent from a prosecutor (hah) and a judge to agree that consent, there is no way to get that condition dropped. Furthermore, even if you had that miraculous agreement, you only have 60 days from your sentencing date to do anything about it.
