Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

probation or rehab?
My brother us currently on felony probation for several counts of forgery of checks and grand theft. All crimes were committed against our mother. she is the one who notified the police and provided all information to make the arrest. My brother is a drug addict. He was offered a choice of probation for 5 years or rehab. He chose probation (against the judge's advice). He is having trouble making his payments and is not getting any treatment, he could be slipping back to using again (I think he is using). Would he be able to ask his p.o. or the judge to go to rehab? The charges were adjudicated contingent on the probation. Will that affect it? What should he do to get help?
