Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

I have a felony warrant out for my arrest. I just learned I am under fugitive status. I had no idea. This started in September. It was the night I went to rehab as my check in time was 12am. Fearing I wouldn't get the help I was looking for without drugs immediately in my system I tried finding some. ( I know now this was stupid) I went to the apartment of a friend who had giving me drugs before and climbed through the window. I never found anything and left. I accidentally dropped a screw driver I brought in case. I was in detox when I learned I had to talk to a police officer. I told him everything. ( I did not tell him my friend had distributed drugs however) After this I wrote an apology to my friend. I was upset I had done it. Mostly I did this because I really wanted help. I am 90 days clean now. I like how my life is going. I do not feel prison or jail would be in my interest for recovery. Also because I climbed through a window and did not take anything I fail to see how this is a felony. I feel turning myself in would be bad. I don't have money for bail at all. What should I do. Is the testimony I gave while in "Detox" valid? I was told in detox and rehab while in detox we are not in a legal state of mind. Also is it really a felony if I climbed through a window and didn't take anything. Is there a way to settle this out of court? I learned just yesterday of all this. Mail was not coming to me as I've changed addresses so many times as of late.
