A speedy trial motion would only be applicable if you didn't plead guilty as condition of drug treatment. Also, many other factors would come into play (see 30.30 of the CPL). In most treatment type courts a plea happens prior to acceptance into the program. Statute of limitations usually refers to the filing of the action. To check for a warrant you can call or have an attorney check with the court and local warrant squad of the PD.
