Legal Question in DUI Law in Colorado

DWAI Going to the BIG HOUSE

Here is the deal. I have one DWAI(lesser DUI) in Colorado while I was at Colo State. I fulfilled all my obligations BUT my alcohol education(I couldn't stay sober to pass the breath tests). No other record. I moved back from Colo to Cali b/c I wasn't functioning. I then attended a 30 day inpatient + 10 weeks, 5hrs daily outpatient at the Betty Ford Clinic. Now sober I get to pick up the pieces. I'm still a student and have a limited time to spend back in Colo. To limit total time away from home should I turn myself in with or w/o bail? If I go for bail am I likely not allowed out of state? This is Weld County.

I would hire an attorney to assist in negotiating failure to comply with terms of probation and also working with court to allow you to travel out of state.
