I would first contact a local lawyer to ask how to take care of this process. Virginia is a common wealth state and all laws are different there then a "state" but, most likely you will be able to do what is called a deposition. This is a verbal questioning taken down in writing under oath, and submitted in your place when you cant physically appear. Good luck

Have the Director of the Rehab Facility write a letter to the court on your behalf explaining the situation. Then it is up to the court. They still may decide that you have to show anyway. Good Luck.

You must contact the court and the DA's office imediately. They might be able to arrange an affidavit be taken, so you will not have to appear in court.
