Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

spiked drink = violation of probation!!

to make a long story short, i was convicted of 4 misdemeanor charges this october. the charges are dui, evading police (2800.1), possession marijuana, and possession of a controlled substance without prescription. I was sentenced to two months house arrest. This new years eve, i went to a party with a friend of mine, and there were a lot of people drinking and a couple of people offered me drinks and other things. knowing my situation i declined of course. well someone found it funny to put some cocaine in my soda, and when i started to feel sick, a group of guys started laughing asking how i liked my ''coke''. I finally put two together and found out my drink was spiked. I found out that it only stays in your system for like 2 days, and since i drank it, not sniffed it that it would not be a big deal. but when i took my drug test at my orientation today for home confinement, i tested positive for cocaine. my probation officer was contacted by the associate and my home confinement was declined. i was flustered and tried to contact her without any luck. I never had any intentions of violating my probation. the only problem is, i have to report to jail soon if i am not approved for home confinement. what should i do?
